Full description
Humphreys, C., 2004, Bowden House, Totnes, Devon: Results of Archaeological Evaluation Trenches, 4.3, 5.4; figure 10; plates 5-6 (Report - Evaluation). SDV347862.
A rubble wall was revealed in Trench 3, with a superior face to the west hinting at soil retention to the east. Its width is between 0.8 metres and 1.09 metres, and its build of angular green sandstone with clay bonding. This feature is interpreted as a garden wall either retaining a bed or possibly bordering a pond. This latter being suggested by the soft fine silt which was found in a culvert bissecting the wall.
