Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation, carried out in support of a planning application for residential development on land at Stowford Rise, Sidford, Sidmouth was carried out by AC Archaeology. The site is situated on land to the south of Sidford High Street, the alignment of which is thought to represent the Roman coastal road between Charmouth and Exeter. The area also contains a number of previously recorded archaeological sites and monuments dating to the prehistoric period. An earlier geophysical survey by magnetometry identified a small number of anomalies which indicated the possible presence of buried archaeological remains on the site. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of nine trenches, totalling 205m in length, positioned to investigate the anomalies identified during the geophysical survey. In some of the trenches largely negative results were recorded, but towards the southern end of the site deposits relating to a small and well-preserved late Bronze Age to early Iron Age settlement were present (c. 900-600 BC). Archaeological features and deposits associated with this comprised, pits, postholes, stakeholes and linear ditches/gullies. Pottery, worked flint and daub was recovered, while an assessment of the environmental remains indicates the good survival of charcoal, charred grain and burnt bone.
