I need the assistance of someone with a knowledge of the geography of Exeter, especially around the cathedral. In my transcription efforts of 1841, I have been wandering Precinct of the Close. I have come out of Bear Street, moved onto Palace Gate, and will soon end up in Cathedral Yard. But before I get there, I am stuck in <unintelligible> Square, where <unintelligible> looks as if it could be something like 'Deumy'. Been searching maps all morning, but can find nothing that looks like that anywhere in that vicinity. A search for 'Square' in Exeter doesn't give me any likely candidates.
I have been a little naughty, and captured the offending bits from the image.

Can anybody out there save my sanity? (This enumerator's writing is semi-atrocious, and causing me all sorts of mental anguish.)
Many many thanks, and a Gold Star to the first logical answer.
