Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology between December 2021 and April 2022 during building work at the Tregarthen’s Hotel, Hugh Town, Isles of Scilly. The work has provided an insight into the development of this area, identifying a succession of former garden soils overlying the intact former soil sequence. The excavations failed to identify any evidence for a rock-cut ditch and the possible presence of a former subsoil suggests that the defensive works between Gunner’s Well Battery and the main Garrison Gate may simply have taken advantage of the natural slope. In addition, the removal of the soils failed to identify evidence for earlier archaeological features underneath the post-medieval soil sequence within the deeper excavations. Finally, the presence of a number of late post-medieval wares, consisting entirely of domestic fabrics and forms, within the garden soil is consistent with activity associated with the nearby 19th century Tregarthen Hotel. Nothing of significance was found
