Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in April 2014 on land adjacent to St George's Church, Shillingford St George, Devon. The work was required under a condition attached to planning consent for the extension to the churchyard for interment. The graveyard extension lies to the south-east of the church. The church is grade II* listed and probably started as a domestic chapel before being enlarged in the late 15th century by Sir William Huddesfield, Attorney General under Edward IV. The tower and the north transept date to this period, while the remainder of the building was substantially rebuilt during the 19th century. The Tithe map shows a much smaller graveyard and a narrow strip of land to the east of the church which may have been reordered when the rectory was built in the early 19th century. By 1880 the Ordnance Survey map shows that the graveyard has been extended to the south The evaluation comprised the excavation of 2 trenches: 1 trench measuring 9.8m by 1.6m, and 1 trench 2.2m long and 1.6m wide. The trenches typically revealed a sequence of 200mm deep topsoil overlying colluvial subsoil. No archaeological deposits and/or finds were identified. The trench evaluation constitutes a thorough examination of the site, with trenches positioned to provide a comprehensive sample of all available areas. No features, deposits or dating were found which would indicate significant archaeological activity within the evaluated area. The lack of pottery and lithics from the site, despite examination of spoil heaps, further indicates that the potential for significant archaeological survival is low. As a result, it was agreed with the DCHET that no further archaeological site work was necessary. This is the only report on these works.
