Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Devon County Council to carry out an archaeological evaluation at land at Old Bideford Road, Barnstaple (NGR SS 54360 31830). The fieldwork was undertaken over four days (1-4 August 2016). A total of seven trial trenches were excavated by machine across the development area. None of the trenches could be located on the positions defined in the written scheme of investigation due to on-site constraints relating to previously unknown overhead power lines and extant vegetation. The moving of the trenches was agreed with Stephen Reed, acting on behalf of the Historic Environment Team at Devon County Council. Only three of the seven excavated trenches contained archaeological features which consisted of a small linear feature (consistent with land drainage) and a more substantial linear feature, likely to be a field boundary. A very small quantity of post medieval finds was recovered from this feature. This evaluation has identified a very low density of archaeological features of limited archaeological significance, as such; no further mitigation work is anticipated.
