An archaeological watching brief was undertaken alongside the harbour front when 13 geotechnical trial pits were excavated to inform improvements to Teignmouth flood defences. Most of the trial pits were dug onto 19th and 20th century slipway and stepped surfaces consistent with the 19th century establishment of the New Quay and subsequent deposition of material to reinforce and protect the quayside.
