Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during December 2010 on land forming the Phase 2 development at Court Farm, Cullompton, Devon (NGR ST 02231 07841). The site occupies an area of approximately 2.8 hectares on agricultural land, bisected by a small tributary of the River Culm, on the northern outskirts of Cullompton. There were no known archaeological sites present on the site itself, but it is located in a general area where evidence for prehistoric and Romano-British activity has been previously recorded. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of nine trenches totalling 375m in length and with each trench 2m wide. A series of wetland deposits was exposed close to the stream on low-lying ground. These comprised peat deposits interspersed with sandy-loam and humic silts overlain by colluvial deposits. Palaeo-environmental analyses of samples taken from these layers indicates that they were naturally formed in wet and standing water conditions, with scrub vegetation and pasture cover. Two radiocarbon dates from the layers indicate arable farming in the near vicinity during the Romano-British period. There was no indication of actual prehistoric or Romano-British settlement on the site; with only a piece of iron slag and a prehistoric chert waste flake recovered from the mid sequence of the deposits. Other worked flint/chert and one sherd of probable late Iron Age pottery came from residual contexts. Elsewhere on the site remains of part of a 19th-century tannery complex was exposed as a series of brick footings. Other features included a post-medieval field boundary ditch exposed in two trenches and a probable pit of similar date.
