In February 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at 69-71 East Street, Newton Abbot, Devon. A total of three trenches were excavated with the site. The evaluation recorded a wall, a well and two adjoining culverts. All of these structures were stone-built and were later post-medieval/modern in date. These structures are presumably associated with a post-medieval building which stood at the street frontage until the late 20th century. Rubble deposits present in the southern half of the site presumably originate from the demolition of this building. The evaluation recorded a series of made ground layers overlying the natural substrate throughout the site; these are indicative of widespread ground disturbance/levelling. There was no clear evidence for features/deposits associated with earlier use of the plot.
