Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by Oakford Archaeology between February 2020 and September 2022 during works at Weavers, Moretonhampstead, Devon. The work comprised the initial excavation of two test pits and the subsequent monitoring and recording in 2022 of the foundation trenches of the three new dwellings. The work revealed that the southern half of the site, including the former street frontage, had been extensively truncated by activity associated with the construction of Greenhill Primary School and playing field in 1961. The northern edge of the site contained an increasingly deep deposit of original and redeposited topsoil. Excavation in this area revealed the remains of a former boundary ditch, possibly defining the northern limits of the medieval burgage plots, as well as a pit and a possible post trench. All the features were undated although seven sherds of 13th-early 15th century and 76 sherds of 16th-20th century pottery were retrieved from the topsoil Excavation in the northern area revealed the remains of a former boundary ditch, possibly defining the northern limits of the medieval burgage plots, as well as a pit and a possible post trench. All the features were undated although seven sherds of 13th-early 15th century and 76 sherds of 16th-20th century pottery were retrieved from the topsoil.
