Abstract:		 The results of a desk-based appraisal, impact assessment and walkover survey undertaken on land either side of New Road, Bideford, Devon. This work was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. on behalf of Maria Bailey of Maria Bailey Planning, in order to advise on the archaeological potential of the sites. Limited archaeological works have taken place in the immediate vicinity of the site, and archaeological undertakings in the town have had mixed success over the last two decades, but have revealed evidence of the development of the town and its river frontage. The western site was formerly part of the Medieval (manorial) estate of Old Ford, and located in close proximity also to Meddon Street, an area of known area Medieval activity. The 19th century development within the New Road area, especially around and within the eastern site means that the potential for discovery of earlier remains is restricted. However, remains pertaining to the 19th century, if found, may help to phase the reclaiming of riverside land and the construction of New Road and or the wharf. The walkover identified that parts of the site have been heavily terraced, which would have removed any archaeological features or artefactual remains, though that some of this has occurred in reclaimed land which may have protected buried remains. The western half of the site can also be seen to be on steeply sloping land which is likely to reduce its archaeological potential. The site is currently heavily overgrown and shows evidence of 20th century surfaces and structures. No archaeological earthworks or other remains were observed, and despite the proximity of the medieval Old Ford House, the archaeological potential of the site is low.
