Title:	Archaeological Evaluation of Lloyds Bank Premises, South Street, Totnes
Originator:	Stead, P. M. + Matthews, A. J.
Date:	1993
Summary:	Evaluation in advance of development in 1993 revealed a section of the medieval town wall running east-west across the width of the tenement. In trench 4 it appeared as a clay bonded wall (521). Incorporated into it, and projecting south from it, was a large flat sloping stone, possibly the base of a garderobe chute. The possible chute was overlain by 0.20m of clay loam containing mortar, slate and oystershell fragments and representing perhaps a garden soil. Any basal layers of the rampart which is assumed to have stood behind the wall have been removed by later development.
