Abstract:		 The site at No. 9-11 Market Place is in the heart of the medieval part of Bideford, adjacent to Market Square which was transformed in the 19th century to include a purpose-built Butcher's Row. The 19th century construction of the market led to significant changes to the existing buildings of Market Place with many new buildings constructed (e.g. Numbers 1-5), and others such as Numbers 9-11 being aggrandised, possibly with changes in use. Numbers 9-11 appear to be buildings of 17th century origin, but may have surviving hints of medieval elements. The buildings are associated with four burgage plots, the historic boundary walls of which largely survive, and have in places been incorporated within later buildings on the site. Four short evaluation trenches were opened in advance of a proposed residential redevelopment of the site. The site is comprised of parts of four burgage plots; located at 90° to the slope, these plots have been terraced to create level platforms. As a result, a greater part of each terrace has been heavily truncated, although some archaeological features and layers do survive on the downslope part of the upper two terraces. Trench #2 clipped the edge of a large pit, and uncovered a thin levelling deposit containing waste material from pottery production c.1660-1700. The volume of this material was insufficient to suggest on-site pottery production, and probably represents a dump of hardcore. In Trench #4, a remnant soil layer was uncovered that contained medieval pottery.
