Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken during groundworks associated with the refurbishment of the Food for Thought restaurant in Fowey. The works impacted upon both Food for Thought and the adjacent Boat House, both Grade II Listed buildings. Food for Thought was thought to be one of the oldest surviving buildings in Fowey, 13th to 15th century. The Boat House was a later structure thought to originate in the 18th century. The watching brief identified three features relating to the two buildings. The wall footings and an associated deposit were identified along the eastern façade of Food for Thought which contained finds of 15th-16th century date. These are thought to be contemporary with the construction of the building. A soakaway or drain was identified within the Boat House. This contained material spanning the 17th-19th centuries and may be contemporary with the use of the building or may represent an earlier phase on the site. A wall identified in the southern courtyard may represent the original outer wall of the Boat House, part of an earlier building on the same alignment, or a former extension of Dolphin Houses terrace that had been demolished prior to the latter part of the 19th century. The results from the watching brief constitute a rare insight into the medieval and post medieval archaeology of a Cornish town. The results are considered significant enough to warrant a small programme of further analysis and a short publication note in Cornish Archaeology.
