Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation on land at, Millbrook, Axminster, Devon, was undertaken by AC archaeology. Ten trenches were excavated totalling 232.5m in length. One trench specifically targeted the line of a former leat, which once provided power to a mill recorded in the post-medieval period, but potentially having earlier origins. The remaining trenches provided representative coverage across the rest of the site. The trench across the route of the leat exposed a shallow, flat based channel, with the inner silts containing 19th-century or later finds. No evidence for a date of construction was identified, as the leat had been probably been cleaned out on a regular basis prior to going out of use. Towards the southern end of the site a large ditch was exposed, which seems to extend along the contour of the northern edge of the hilltop. This feature might represent the northern edge of a prehistoric hilltop enclosure, with finds recovered from the fills comprising possible Neolithic pottery and worked flint. A further prehistoric linear feature and an adjacent pit were recorded on the east side of the site, but downslope and therefore outside the possible enclosure. Across the rest of the site the only features recorded were a linear boundary ditch and posthole, both of which are likely to date to the 19th century.
