Abstract:		 In April 2016 Wessex Archaeology monitored geotechnical test-pits and boreholes for ground investigation works in advance of flood defence improvements along the banks of the River Dart in Totnes, Devon. The test-pits and borehole sample logs revealed varying depths of made-ground, some of which may be of archaeological interest. A window sample to the east of New Walk encountered a timber stake 1.5m below ground level which may be part of a buried quayside structure. A borehole in the Steamer Quay car park identified peat layers between 6.5 and 11.8m below ground level, which may date from before or during the Mesolithic marine transgression into the Dart Estuary.
