Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Kier Utility and Rail Services to carry out an archaeological supervision and monitor during the groundworks relating to the repair of a burst water main along the line of Plymouth Road, within Bedford Square, Tavistock Abbey Place, Tavistock, Devon PL19 8BB (NGR 248161 74365). The area to be excavated lay within the Scheduled Monument Boundary of Tavistock Abbey (National Heritage List for England (NHLE) ref. 1020401) and also within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (NHLE 1000105). Due to the urgency of the required repairs, and with the agreement of Historic England, the works were carried out under a Class 5 Consent of the Ancient Monuments (Class Consents) Order 1994. The monitored works comprised of the excavation of a single pit measuring 1.70m by 1.02m in order to reach the burst pipe and mend it. The depth of the pit measured 1.02m below the current ground level and encountered no archaeological features, deposits or archaeological materials. The lowest deposit encountered may represent the levelling of the area prior to the construction of Plymouth Road. However, the absence of any masonry or mortar inclusions within it, suggest that it is unlikely to be associated with the structural remains of the Abbey. The archaeological supervision and monitoring were undertaken on 9 March 2020.
