Summary:A group of bone from the bottom fill of the town dtich, on the site of Evans and Cutler garage, comprised 35 mammalian, one bird and three fish bones. The mammals included horse, cattle, pig and dog. The three fish bones came from hake. Line-caught hake apparently dominated the medieval fishery in Devon. The single bird bone came from a goose. The assemblage is dateable to the 11th or 12th centuries.
