Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Douglas Cockbain (The Client), during the erection of a low carbon dwelling at 11 Leechwell Street, Totnes, Devon. This work was undertaken by Dr B. Morris and J. Bampton in September 2015 in accordance with a WSI drawn up in reference to a Brief supplied by Graham Tait of the Devon County Historic Environment Team. The site lies at the east end of the garden to No.11 Leechwell Street, on the south-west edge of Totnes; on the east facing slope of the valley to the river Dart, between Leechwell Street and Leechwell Lane. Totnes was first recorded in 1086 and it sits at, historically, the lowest bridging point of the river Dart and its upper tidal limit. After the Norman conquest the town became a defensive position overlooking the Dart and through the 11th and 12th centuries it expanded beyond its defensive walls (which had gone by the mid 16th century) to the east and south-west. The expansion to the south-west from Rotherfold, through The Lamb Passage, Cistern Street and including the area of Leechwell Street covered an area associated with the droving and trading of animals. The tenements along Leechwell Street are characteristic of medieval burgage plots laid out over pre-existing medieval plough strips. On the historic mapping the site can be seen to lie just beyond the southern extremity of the medieval burgage plots and it probably marks the limit of the town's medieval expansion. Excavations in 1991 of the 19th century cattle market by Exeter Archaeology identified 11th/12th century pottery and a 14th/15th century house.
