Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology between June and July 2015 on The Stop Line Way, Seaton to Colyford cycle way, Devon. The site lies in an area of archaeological potential on the west side of the River Axe, along the edge of Seaton Marshes, an area of former open water and a harbour in the Roman and medieval periods. Part of the development lies within land reclaimed from the marshland along the edge of the River Axe in the post-medieval period. Saltworking is recorded at Seaton in Domesday Book and evidence for later, 18th century saltworks are visible close to the southwest end of the cycleway. It was therefore possible that the development would expose the remains of saltworks. The work was therefore required by the Devon County Historic Environment Team. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of a new cycle path and bridge. The topsoil stripping for the cycle path adjacent to the access at Colyford was monitored in June 2015. This covered an area 175m long and 4.5m wide, extending to a depth of 0.3m. The works for the new bridge and boardwalk were monitored in July 2015. The northern abutment was 6m x 4m x 0.9m, the central pier base 6m x 4m x 1.2m and the southern pier base 6m x 4m x 1.9m.. Elsewhere the route of the cycleway was tarmacked, while the hedge breaches had been undertaken the previous year without archaeological monitoring.
