Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology between July and August 2018 during building work on land at Piazza Terracina, St Thomas, Exeter, as a condition of planning permission. The site is located beyond the southwestern edge of the city, on reclaimed ground within the former floodplain of the river Exe. A detailed assessment produced by Exeter Archaeology in 2000 showed that the site was located on the western edge of the area of 19th century development of the canal basin and its associated structures, and immediately to the north of the late 17th century diversion canal known as the 'New Cut'. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of a new restaurant and associated groundworks. The area was subject to cut-and-fill, with the northern half of the development reduced to a depth of 0.6m below current ground level and the southern half filled. In addition, the excavation of six pits, extending to a depth of 1.04-1.2m was also monitored. The results of the archaeological works demonstrated that earlier deposits, associated with the 19th century development of the canal basin survived below modern deposits. However, no features or finds associated with the canal basin or earlier cuts and river courses were exposed by the development.
