A trench of 46 metres in length was excavated within the former gardens of 18 Fore Street, 40 metres due west of the Market Hall in Tiverton. Four features, including two post-holes were found overlain by between 1.4 and 0.8 metres of garden soil. Pottery sherds dating to the 11th-14th, and 17th centuries were recovered, and a fragment of abraded, possibly Roman, tile. The medieval and post-medieval remains appear to have been disturbed by cultivation.
