Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Wessex Archaeology, commissioned by AECOM, on behalf of the Sherford Consortium, undertook an archaeological watching brief on land within the Phase 1 area of the proposed new community at Sherford, Plymouth, Devon, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SX 53961, 53689. The programme of work was carried out between the 20th January to the 11th February 2015 associated with the RMA 1.1 Advance Planting and hedgebank construction. A small number of archaeological features were recorded within three areas. The highest concentration of features was found within Area 1, many of which contained Romano-British pottery. Four linears/ditches, one of which was a large and deep V - shaped feature, and a small hearth/fire pit were excavated. A metalled surface, possibly representing a trackway was also located within Area 1 and appears to be associated with a similar surface recorded within a nearby trench in the initial trial trench evaluation. Four archaeological features were recorded within Area 4 including an undated ditch, a gully which yielded a small amount of Iron Age pottery and a small pit containing fired clay. A large spread of material measuring approximately 8m in length contained Roman pottery sherds, roof tile, animal bone, oyster shell and a single human rib bone. A small undated gully was noted in Area 5 as well as two small former channels. No archaeological features were recorded in Areas 2 and 3. The archaeological features were well preserved with little truncation and features recorded correlated with the results of the previous geophysical survey.
