Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology on land at Grandisson Court, Ottery St Mary, Devon, in October 2015 during the redevelopment of the site. The remains of a roughly E-W aligned robber trench was uncovered. This seems to represent the rear wall of the medieval collegiate and later King's School. This was built some time after the establishment of a collegiate church for secular priests by Bishop Grandisson in 1335. It remained in use throughout the next two hundred years and following the dissolution of the college in 1545 was re-established by Henry VIII as a grammar school. It was finally sold in 1883 and the buildings were demolished shortly after. The robber trench and demolition deposit covering the internal space of the school building are likely to date to this period. The large pit is likely to have been located within an ancillary building shown on the mid-19th century plan of the school and may have served as a latrine. It was not fully excavated but the fills identified would suggest that the later stages of infilling denoted by the fills represent a period of deliberate backfilling dating to the late 16th or 17th century.
