Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation, carried out to inform masterplan proposals for a development on land at Chopes and Bridge Street Car Parks, Bideford, Devon was undertaken by AC archaeology. The site is located in the historic core of the town, where evidence for medieval settlement alongside Bridge Street and Allhalland Street might be expected. To the rear of these streets, terraced houses were constructed in the Victorian period, and a Baptist chapel and graveyard were also present at this time. All buildings were demolished by the early 1970s and the car parks constructed. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of 14 trenches totalling 100m in length. In many of the trenches structures and deposits associated with the 19th century buildings were identified, with these potentially having removed some of the earlier remains that might have been present. A possible medieval pit and ditch were present in Bridge Street Car Park, while in other trenches post-medieval linear features were recorded, which are likely to represent evidence for early property division. Foundations for the Wesleyan chapel were present in Chopes Car Park, as were three associated graves, including two with brick-lined vaults.
