Abstract:		 The results of a heritage impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land at the Rugby Club, Ilfracombe, North Devon, Devon. This work was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a new rugby pavilion. The site is located at the north-eastern edge of Ilfracombe, in close proximity to the scheduled Hillsborough Promontory Hillfort, but outside of the scheduled area. It lies within existing recreational ground, in an area developed during the late 19th century. A mature hedge and hedgebank run across the headland at its widest, lowest part, defining the suburban landscape from the 'naturalised' park beyond. The apparent lack of ground disturbance across the site suggests that the potential for survival of archaeological deposits is good. In terms of indirect impacts, most of the designated heritage assets in the wider area are located at such a distance to minimise the impact of the proposed development, or else the contribution of setting to overall significance is less important than other factors. The landscape, but principally the townscape, context of many of these buildings and monuments is such that they would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed development by a combination of local blocking from trees, buildings or embankments, or that other modern intrusions have already impinged upon their settings. The only site where there is likely to be an appreciable impact is the Hillsborough Promontory Hillfort (negative/minor). With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as negative/minor. The impact of the development on any buried archaeological resource would be permanent and irreversible.
