Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by Oakford Archaeology between April and May 2022 during works at Bowhill, Dunsford Hill, Exeter, Devon. The work comprised the monitoring of groundworks associated with reductions in the floor level in the Great Hall and the construction of a small extension in the courtyard. Interior works revealed the extent of previous ground disturbance as result of the works carried out by the Department of the Environment in 1977 and Exeter Archaeology in 1989. In addition, the works revealed a previously undisturbed section of 19th century cobbled flooring associated with the subdivision of the house into separate dwellings and the conversion of the former Great Hall into a barn. Work in the courtyard revealed the remains of an excavation trench extending as far as the northwest wall. Previously unrecorded this is possibly associated with the works undertaken by the Department of the Environment in 1977-8. Finally, the works in the courtyard partly exposed the foundations of the western boundary wall. Closer inspection suggests that these are in part at least late 15th or early 16th century in date, perhaps the remains of the earlier west range.
