Several parallel sections of north-south ditches were recorded to the rear of 43 High Street during excavation by North Devon District Council Rescue Archaeology Unit. They were thought to be comparable with features identified at Padfield's Yard as early boundary ditches. They were apparently dug within an accumulation of cultivation soil, and filled with similar material. The east part of the site also contained large 17th century pits, possibly associated with industrial activity.
