Abstract:		 The results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at the former St Margaret's School, Magdalen Road, Exeter, Devon, as part of the planning permission for the partial demolition and conversion of a former school to create 41 residential units. The site lay between Magdalen Road and Heavitree Road, the main route into the city from the east from the medieval period and probably from the Roman. The evaluation was carried out after the demolition of modern buildings on the site and revealed physical evidence of the changes to the site depicted in the 19th and 20th century cartographic record, but no earlier remains. These included part of a tiled floor comparable to those in extant entrance hallways in the adjacent buildings on Magdalen Road, structural and garden walls, a footpath and large amounts of made ground. A large number of drains were also uncovered in the evaluation. The earliest feature on site was a 17th-18th century ditch, probably from an earlier field system shown on the 1801 OS surveyors draft map. Given the extent of truncation on site from the terracing and construction in the 19th and 20th century it is unlikely that any significant archaeological remains or deposits survive in between the trenching, and as a result no further work was required.
