Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in April 2017 during building work at Vale Cottage, Haytor Vale, Devon. The site is located on the edge of the Haytor Iron Mine which operated in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is possible that extraction occurred at an earlier date by opencast method. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of an extension to the south of the existing building. A series of foundation trenches for the extension, 55m long, 0.7m wide and 0.95m deep, were monitored. The groundworks exposed a mid-yellowish orange sandy clay natural subsoil (102). This was in turn overlain by a 0.3m thick mid reddish brown sandy clay subsoil (101) underneath a 0.2m thick mid-to-dark brown topsoil (100). No deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity was found. The lack of pottery and other artefacts from the site, despite examination of spoil heaps, further indicates that the site is archaeologically sterile. This is the only report on these works.
