An archaeological watching brief and trench evaluation was carried out by AC archaeology in January 2015 on land to the rear of Moors Yard, South Street, South Molton, Devon in advance of a proposed residential development. The site lies within an area of burgage plots close to the centre of the historic town. A probably later prehistoric roundhouse was exposed in one trench, although no other features of this date were exposed, or any finds pre-dating the medieval period recovered. A series of medieval and post-medieval ditches was located, probably representing subdivisions of the medieval fields.
