The Medieval bridge and part of a late medieval conduit under Holloway Street is a scheduled ancient monument in Devon that comprises structural remains of two distinct periods of water management infrastructure. The bridge dates to the medieval period, whilst the conduit represents late medieval engineering, indicating successive phases of development to facilitate water supply or drainage through the settlement. The monument survives beneath the modern street line, preserving evidence of medieval construction techniques and the importance of such utilities to the functioning of Devon's medieval communities. These remains demonstrate the substantial investment made by medieval authorities in infrastructure serving both practical and domestic needs.
