Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned by Kevin Hutter (the Client) to undertake a desk-based-assessment and historic building recording in 2009 during the conversion of the former Admiral Vernon public house and subsequently in September 2016 to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording on land to the rear of the former pub during groundworks associated with the construction of a housing development. The site is located on the north side of Well Street, Great Torrington, Torridge in North Devon. The Admiral Vernon site occupies a position close to the historic core of the settlement of Great Torrington which had already developed by the 12th century, suggesting that the site had probably been occupied since the early medieval period. However, there is limited surviving evidence to suggest that the site originated as a burgage plot within the wider locale of medieval plots. The main building fronting onto the street can be seen to have originated by the 18th century as a private house, Davies House. By 1823 it had become a public house named The New Inn, and whilst the Admiral Vernon name was in use in the town during the 18th century, it was not until the 20th century that the New Inn was renamed and took up the Admiral Vernon name. The back plot was built up during the 19th century, with at least two episodes of construction, before the rear of the plot was cleared of these structures during the 20th century. The archaeological works identified a total of 13 features, including: one ditch; six pits; one stone-built structure; one stone wall; one brick wall; and three modern drains. Many of these features can be linked to the historic mapping.
