Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring was undertaken by South West Archaeology during the installation of a gas main at Downes Farm, Exeter Road, Crediton. The topsoil was stripped along a 6m wide easement zone along the line of the gas main then the trench for the gas main was cut along the centre. The site had been ploughed recently and was under a young cereal crop. The topsoil reached a maximum of 0.4m in depth, although on average was c. 0.3m thick. The surface of the subsoil was fairly hard and had been extensively marked by ploughing in a roughly east to west direction. No archaeological features or deposits were identified during the stripping of the easement zone. All features were of relatively recent date, especially a plastic pipeline and gas main, yet the cuts in which they were placed were invisible both in plan and in section. At its western end the pipeline cut through the hedgebank running along the northern side of the A377 which defines the southern boundary of the field. This was a relatively slight feature. No stratified finds were recovered, but an assemblage of medieval and post-medieval ceramics, glass and clay pipe sherds were recovered.
