Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. carried out a desk-based appraisal and archaeological monitoring and recording at Crossways, Atherington, Umberleigh, Devon, during the creation of a manege and access trackway. This constituted the stripping of topsoil and instatement of well consolidated gravel. The trackway would transect the location of a building present on the 1840's tithe map that is missing from the cartographic record by the end of the 19th century. Little was known of this building, such as the date or character of its construction. The desk-based appraisal established that the farm house marked on the 1840's tithe map but later missing was probably built sometime after 1765 and removed before 1888. The groundworks revealed partly disturbed in situ cobbled surfaces, a series of destruction/demolition layers and three partly disturbed in situ stone walls, one of which cut a demolition layer showing the re-use of the site prior to a final demolition. Despite the presence of a single 16th century sherd of pottery, all contexts contained 18th-19th century white refined earthen wear. Interestingly, a series of postholes were encountered that directly related to the ends of the walls and these may reflect the surveying and construction process involved in the initial construction of the building.
