Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken between November and December 2016 by Oakford Archaeology at 9 Verney Street, Exeter, Devon. The work comprised recording on foundation trenches and associated works being excavated inside the existing building. The desk-based appraisal has established that a number of buildings existed within the boundaries of the site from at least 1819, with this replaced by four separate structures on maps of 1876 and additional buildings in 1905. All of these buildings had been removed by 1951, following damaged sustained during the second world war, and replaced by a more recent addition of concrete block and brick construction. Evidence for earlier activity was largely confined to the southwestern end of the site where a single ditch and possible pit or posthole were exposed. The posthole contained a single sherd of pottery of late 1st century AD date, while the ditch had been previously identified by Exeter Archaeology in 2011 during excavation of the adjacent site. The central area of the site exposed the remains of four substantial, though heavily truncated, post-medieval pits, and a small, probably medieval, ditch, which continued from the adjacent site. The works exposed the heavily truncated remains of a single wall foundation relating to post-medieval buildings shown on the 1876 and 1905 Ordnance Survey maps. This was located along the southwestern edge of the development. The remains of a cobbled surface, probably associated with these buildings, was also identified. Due to heavy post-war truncation there was no evidence of archaeological activity at the northeastern end of the site. The finds recovered from the site contained a small quantity of Roman pottery, while large quantities of post-medieval coarsewares, dating to the 17th-18th century were recovered, including two sherds of sgraffito decorated North Devon pottery.
