Abstract:		 The report outlines the results of an Archaeological Watching Brief undertaken during blanket bog restoration works at Winney's Down as part of the Dartmoor Mires Project. The restoration works were carried out from 19 September to 3 October and again from the 24 October until 3 November 2011. The Dartmoor Mires Project involves carrying out restoration work to areas of blanket peat within Dartmoor National Park. The restoration works comprised the mechanical removal of peat blocks and islands, which were used to block erosion gullies on the site. The archaeological watching brief was undertaken for the duration of the restoration works and involved observing peat removal, block construction and machine access to and from the site. A series of low-lying patches of Molinia that were sub-circular in plan were identified at various locations on the site during restoration works. A sondage was excavated in one of the Molinia features to establish if they were the result of archaeological activity. Nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered, indicating that these features are naturally occurring. Nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered during the course of restoration works.
