Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Darren Mayne of Woodward Smith Architects (the Agent) on behalf of Richard Stanbury (the Clients), during groundwork associated with the conversion of offices and stores to four flats at 49 Boutport Street, Barnstaple, Devon. This work was undertaken on 31st January 2018 in accordance with a Project Design drawn up in consultation with Stephen Reed of the Devon County Historic Environment Team and Collette Hall, North Devon Council Conservation Officer. Barnstaple, in the deanery and hundred of Braunton is located on the confluence of the rivers Taw and Yeo (Lysons 1822). It is one of the oldest boroughs in England, having been chartered as a burgh in 930. Its place-name is derived from the Old English bearde meaning 'a battle axe' and stapol meaning 'a pillar'. This form of place-name is a 'totem-pole' name, referring to a religious or administrative meeting place. From the 10th century it had a mint and has ostensibly always been an important market town (Watts 2004). The proposed development is located within the Barnstaple Conservation Area. It abuts and is adjacent to, predominantly late 18th century, Grade II Listed buildings, including; No.46 (1385035) to the north, No.50 (1385036) to the east, No.54 (1385037) to the south and No.80 (1385051) to the west, among others. The site lies in the historic core of Barnstaple, and therefore the groundworks associated with this development may expose artefactual deposits associated with the medieval and later settlement of this area of Barnstaple. No.49 is currently a 'Warrens Bakery' and the site was ostensibly a working butchers and 'pasty' shop with elements of a shop front window-shelf and service doors at the east end of the north elevation.
