Abstract:		 Archaeological recording at the Custom House, Exeter (SX 9197 9215) was undertaken by Exeter Archaeology between April and November 2007, prior to and during the redevelopment of the site. The work comprised a reduction in the floor level of the Wharfinger's Kitchen by controlled archaeological excavation, building recording, and a watching brief on groundworks for new services. The Custom House is located at the northern end of the Quay, at the junction with Commercial Road and Quay Hill. It was built by the City in 1680-81and is the oldest purpose-built Custom House in England. Previous archaeological work in the entrance lobby and the present work inside the Wharfinger's House revealed the remains of a cobbled quay surface and Heavitree stone foundations of a structure pre-dating the Custom House, an earlier quay compound wall, as well as later re-builds and additions to the 17th- century fabric of the Custom House. Monitoring of alterations to the building and recording of any previously unidentified or unrecorded historic architectural fabric was also undertaken, and confirmed the sequence of the infilling of the arcaded bays along the front of the building. A watching brief on a service trench to the north of the building revealed no significant new exposures of building fabric or deposits associated with the building or earlier quay. A service trench for new floodlighting to the south of the building exposed the footing of an early 19th-century boundary wall and post-medieval reclamation deposits.
