Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during March 2016 on land to the northwest of Linhay Hill Quarry, Ashburton, Devon (SX77746 71676). The work was carried out in advance of a proposed extension to the existing limestone quarry, and was conducted to test for the possibility that the current field boundaries followed a pattern established in the Bronze Age. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of four trenches totalling 29.80m long by 1.5m wide through standing hedgebanks. The archaeological evidence indicates that the pattern of fields at Alston Farm was established no earlier than the medieval period. No evidence was found to indicate that the current field boundary fossilises a Bronze Age field pattern. There were no finds.
