Abstract:		 This report presents the results of programme of archaeological test pitting carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at an Iron Age triple-ditched enclosure and Roman marching camp in Alverdiscott, North Devon (Scheduled Ancient Monument No. 1004558). This work was undertaken to establish the state of preservation and potential archaeological significance of buried archaeological features on the site in order to inform future management strategies. Those strategies would address the risk factors involved in order to remove the site from the Heritage at Risk Register, informed by a 'conservation of Scheduled Monuments in cultivation' (COSMIC) assessment that will utilise the results of the fieldwork. This work took place after high-resolution gradiometer and resistance surveys were carried out by Stratascan (2015). The test-pitting confirmed the results of the geophysical survey, in that a number of likely archaeological features within the area of the Scheduled Monument were identified. The nature of the investigation - limited to the excavation of surface deposits - meant that no stratified dating material was recovered. The topsoil was approximately 0.3m deep, and thus shallow features and deposits are likely to have been truncated or destroyed by previous ploughing regimes.
