Abstract:		 This report presents the results of historic building recording and archaeological monitoring and recording of test pits carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at The Old Quay Head, Ilfracombe, Devon. The monitoring and recording was carried out in advance of a proposed construction which would be used to preserve the historic, although numerously repaired, quay wall. The inner wall had been heavily renovated since the last historic account of development in 1870 with numerous patches of repair. However, continuity in masonry and bonding made it difficult to phase these ad hoc 20th century repairs. It is the fragile state of the exterior structure (particularly the inner wall) and need for numerous substantial repairs and renovations that explains why the vast majority of the visible remains of the Old Quay Head reveal modern rather than historic masonry. The test pits revealed 20th century disturbance of the make-up of the Old Quay Head and a void developing within the fill at the core of the structure. It also revealed a wall dating to between 1760 and the 1820's abutted by the existing eastern pier wall. This wall probably equates to the same build as revealed by Exeter Archaeology in 2001 (Dyer and Gent) at the southern end of the pier.
