Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology for Mr Brian Marshall in April 2016 on land behind Higher Brand Lane, Honiton, Devon. The work was required by East Devon District Council as advised by the Devon County Historic Environment Team. The site lies to the south of Brands Farm, a historic farmstead shown on the 1840 Tithe map that appears to have been abandoned by the end of the 19th century. The Tithe map shows an agricultural building south of the farmstead and located within the site boundary. The date and origin of Brands Farm are unknown and it is therefore possible that this settlement may have early origins. An evaluation was carried out prior to the start of groundworks. Three trenches, measuring 25m in total, were excavated, covering the footprint of the proposed development. The trench evaluation constitutes a thorough examination of the site, with trenches positioned to provide a comprehensive sample of those areas affected by the development. Topsoil and subsoil deposits have been confirmed, across the whole of the site, but the total removal of this material within trenches 1 and 2 has failed to reveal any evidence for buried archaeological features or deposits. Trench 3 exposed an extensive demolition deposit covering the entirety of the trench. This is likely the remains of the farm building shown on the 1843 Tithe map and demolished in the late 19th century. The removal of this deposit failed to uncover any evidence for underlying archaeological features and deposits.
