Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was asked to undertake a desk-based study and walkover survey on land off Chuley Road, Ashburton, Devon. The site lies just to the west of the A38 and south west of the centre of Ashburton. The site specifically occupies an area that incorporates a number railway buildings associated with the former railway station at Ashburton. The desk-based assessment suggests that the proposal site lies on the edge of two medieval strip-field systems, with the site itself seemingly enclosed in the post-medieval period. The documentary and cartographic assessment suggests that there is low archaeological potential. In the 19th century the site was developed with a railway building (goods shed/malthouse) constructed, with further buildings (stores?) added c.1964 presumably as a result of the railway lines closure, and a change in use. The walkover survey revealed that no significant historic fabric associated with the railway survived within the buildings and site at Tuckers Country Stores. It is expected that whilst in areas the open ground may merely have been covered with tarmac, in other places the levels have been heavily reduced possibly removing any archaeological deposits. Beneath the ranges of 20th century buildings one can expect significant disturbance, although to the east of the river there may be evidence of the railway line and associated features. The only real element of archaeological potential and of historic interest relates to the raised area along the western boundary and the associated areas of stone walling along the west and northern boundaries. If these walls and hedgebank are to be removed or replaced during any proposed developments, it is recommended that further work to understand these features may be considered appropriate as part of the planning process.
