Abstract:		 Metal detector survey of arable fields. Members of the East Devon Metal Detecting Club were invited to join WA during the survey. A total of 401 metal finds was recovered Approximately half of the total (201 objects) were undiagnostic or unidentifiable. Thirty-one coins and tokens. Coin weights and buttons were also notable within the collection. Coins and weights mainly date to the medieval and early post-medieval period. Whilst the artefacts recovered do not by themselves indicate the presence of an archaeological site, such as a settlement or an area of industrial activity, the artefacts do appear to suggest that an activity evolving coin weights and low denomination coins having taken place within the fields, especially to the north of Blackhorse Lane, during the later medieval and post-medieval period. The metal finds recovered do support the theory that the fields in this area may have been the venue for a fair or market during the later medieval and post-medieval.
