Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology for Mr Ben Blackburn in September 2015 on works associated with the construction of four new dwellings behind 112 High Street, Honiton, Devon. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of the new building. A number of foundation trenches, 0.45-0.6m in width, 0.7-1m in depth and measuring 70 m in length, were excavated. The trenching exposed a mid-yellow clay (100) containing occasional gravel at a depth of 0.65m. This deposit was overlain by a 0.05-0.15m thick layer of dark brown black silty clay (101), at a depth of 0.23m below present ground level. This was in turn overlain by a mid-greyish brown silty clay (102) containing gravel, limestone rubble, 19th century brick, as well as tarmac, modern metal and plastic. The truncated remains of a well (103) were exposed in the eastern part of the development, measuring 1.95m in width and was excavated to a depth of 2.5m. The well lining consisted of late 18th/early 19th century hand-made bricks and roughly squared limestone rubble. The well had been backfilled with mid yellowish brown silty clay (104) containing frequent limestone rubble and gravel, as well as modern brick and plastic sheeting. The well is likely to have been associated with an earlier arrangement pre-dating the buildings shown on the 1840 Tithe map, although it probably continued in use throughout the 19th century. Following excavation at the rear of the site the works identified a single feature, a well dating to the late 18th-early 19th century. Due to modern disturbance no evidence was found of medieval activity.
