Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology on behalf of SLR Consulting in February 2014 during work at No. 6 Wolborough Street, Newton Abbot, Devon. The site lies in an area of archaeological potential immediately in the rear of the property aligned on Wolborough Street. Archaeological investigations to the south, on the other side of Wolborough Street have previously demonstrated the survival of pits and other 'cut-features' such as post-holes, gullies, ditches, etc associated with medieval settlement to the rear of properties on Wolborough Street. The trenching exposed a coarse grey sand (103) containing occasional gravel and slate at a depth of 0.32m. This deposit was overlain by a 0.09m thick layer of clayey sand, 102, at a depth of 0.23m below present ground level. Finds were recovered from both deposits and are itemised and discussed below. The truncated remains of a cobbled surface (105) were exposed in the NW corner of the development, measuring 0.82m in length and 0.45m in width. This consisted of large water-worn stones that overlay deposit 102. The cobbled surface may be contemporary with a E-W aligned stone foundation (104). This may have been part of an earlier building shown on the 1890 1st edition OS map. Although no finds were recovered the surface is likely to date to the late 19th to early 20th century. These deposits were sealed by a layer of modern aggregate (101) and tarmac (100). Following excavation of the foundation trenches the works identified a series of extensive layers dating from the early 16th to the early 18th century. The assemblage these deposits is clearly domestic in nature (bone, shell and pottery refuse), while the ironwork, slate and tile might be associated with localised building works. Further development at the rear of the plot took place in the 18th-19th century, surviving in the form of a wall and cobbled surface.
