Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation trenching was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of a Private Client prior to groundworks associated with the development of land near the Gospel Hall, Bishops Tawton, Devon. The evaluation was carried out by P. Webb on 19th and 20th November 2018. This work was undertaken in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation drawn up in consultation with the Devon County Historic Environment Team (DCHET). The site lies in an area of archaeological potential, situated within the historic core of the village; to the south-east of the site of the Bishop of Exeter's late medieval palace at Court Farm. The development plot is depicted on the Bishops Tawton tithe map as part of a large hay meadow; to the south-west of the former main thoroughfare through the village. The Gospel Hall was constructed in 1925. The site is located off the A377, c.135m south-east of the parish church and to the immediate west of the Gospel Hall, Bishops Tawton; and is situated on the west facing slopes of the Taw river valley at a height of between approximately 17.5m and 22.5m AOD. The underlying geology is the well drained fine loamy and fine silty soils of the Denbigh 1 Association (SSEW 1983); overlying mudstone, and siltstone of the Crackington Formation with bordering superficial Taw River Terrace deposits of gravel, sand and silt (BGS 2018).
