Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. undertook an archaeological evaluation in April 2013 on land at Great Cotton Farm, in the parishes of Dartmouth and Stoke Fleming, Devon. The positioning of the seven evaluative trenches was based upon the results of a geophysical survey which had revealed a number of archaeological features including recently removed boundaries; linear anomalies of possible earlier field systems; a large curvilinear anomaly; and two sub-circular features which were all targeted during the evaluation. The evaluation revealed the majority of the geophysical anomalies as 'true' archaeological features. These included at least two phases of earlier field boundaries not in the cartographic record, including one at least one system dated to the Middle Bronze Age. In addition a curvilinear ditch, possibly part of a univallate-enclosure, dating to the late Iron Age or Romano-British period and an undated (Bronze Age?) ring-ditch were also sampled. A reasonable assemblage of struck flints, medieval and post-medieval pottery was also recovered from the topsoil. Despite the reliability of the geophysical survey results there is still scope for further understanding and defining of the identified archaeology and potential for more undiscovered archaeological features on the site, especially in those areas not subject to geophysical survey. Therefore further targeted evaluation trenches and monitoring will be required.
