Allum, C., 2009, Proposed Re-Development of Land at Newton Road, Kingsteignton, Devon (Report - Evaluation). SDV347972.
Archaeological evaluation on the site in 2009 recovered evidence for the western wall of the farmstead. The notable absence of any other structural remains of the farmstead is the result of the construction of the omnibus depot in the 1920s and its recent demolition. No finds or features indicative of any occupation earlier than the 19th century were recorded, although an undated ditch aligned north-west to south-east at the southern end of the evaluation site may be earlier, perhaps representing a boundary of an outlying field system.
