Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording at 63 Cowick Street, St Thomas, Exeter, Devon was undertaken by AC archaeology between December 2017 and July 2018. The work comprised the monitoring of footings excavations associated with the construction of a mixed commercial and residential development. The site is located towards the southwest end of Cowick Street at the junction with Old Vicarage Road, and was until recently used as a car wash that occupied a demolished former petrol filling station. The archaeological works recorded some limited evidence for medieval occupation broadly dating from between the 10th and 15th centuries. A small quantity of pottery was recovered from a buried soil and a possible pit. This is likely to reflect peripheral activity on what would have been an area beyond the main settled part of Cowick Street. Development of the site during the post-medieval period was dated from finds to the 18th and 19th centuries. This is consistent with historic mapping, which depicts dispersed properties occupying the southwestern portion of Cowick Street at the beginning of the 19th century and is then shown on the parish tithe map as largely infilled by 1839. While the majority of the street frontage had been removed by pits for petrol fuel tanks, evidence for occupation on the site during this period was demonstrated by rubbish pits, a cess pit, a well and a boundary wall; all features relating to the rear of the former properties. One of the rubbish pits, which based on other finds recovered dated to the 18th century, contained a late 17th century plate decorated with the coat of arms of the Exeter Incorporation of Weavers, Fullers and Shearmen.
