Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) prior to the erection of an agricultural building at Cornborough Farm, Abbotsham, Devon. This work was undertaken by P. Webb between 11th and 14th August 2014 in accordance with a WSI drawn up in consultation with Ann Marie Dick of the Devon County Historic Environment Team (DCHET). The proposed development is situated on the southern face of a hillside, sloping ¬from 70.6mAOD in the north to 62mAOD at the southern limit of the site. The land is currently in use as pasture, but previously has been used as arable land. It lies within an area of known Prehistoric activity, with possible barrow cemeteries (Historic Environment Record numbers: 33091, 33085), and discovery of stone implements, including a Palaeolithic or Mesolithic stone axe (HER number: 895826), Mesolithic flint scatter (HER number: 33121), Mesolithic scrapers (HER number: 33120) and Neolithic petit-tranchet arrowhead (HER number: 33117). It was felt possible that further evidence of Prehistoric settlement may survive within the application footprint, in the form of artefacts and/or buried archaeological deposits. Later activity is represented by the Medieval church (HER number: 33082), to the north-east, and the 16th century Abbotsham Court (HER number: 33064) to the south-west.
