Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) during the erection of two agricultural buildings on land at Morwellham Quay, Gulworthy, Devon. This work was undertaken by P. Webb on 16th September 2014 in accordance with a WSI drawn up in consultation with Bill Horner of the Devon County Historic Environment Team. Morwellham Quay is situated on the east bank of the River Tamar. During the 13th century Morwellham was established as the port for Tavistock Abbey, and a quay is first documented in 1235-40. During the 19th century the port's transport connections were improved in conjunction with the mineral industry; first with the construction of the Tavistock Canal (Monument HOB UID 867279) then the mineral railway (Monument HOB UID 438052) from Devon Great Consuls copper mine (Monument HOB UID 438053) to Morwellham Quay. From the 1860s Morwellham rapidly declined as a commercial port due to improved infrastructure around Tavistock and the decline of river based trade. The first dock at Morwellham was documented in 1765. The earliest known extant structure dates to 1768 and was enlarged during the early 19th century. The other docks were constructed c.1820 and later. Excavations have also recorded a mid 18th century dock on Limekiln Quay. From the 1970s Morwellham Quay was restored and opened as a working museum. The 19th century mapping shows the area as being undeveloped. However, more recent track-ways and field boundaries do border the east and southern boundaries of the site.
