Full description

Humphreys, C., 2004, Bowden House, Totnes, Devon: Results of Archaeological Evaluation Trenches, 4.2, 5.2; Figure 9; plates1-2 (Report - Evaluation). SDV347862.

A stone wall, of 86 centimetres width, was revealed in Trench 2, with lime mortar pointing on the north face (suggestive of the exterior). The wall runs east to west and is abutted to the south by a narrow strip of cobbles running north to south, with edging visible on both sides. This wall may be part of a building which was demolished when the Queen Anne element of Bowden House was erected in the early 18th century. The finds from the area appear to be earlier than the 18th century which would support this theory.
