Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation on land off Burwood Lane/Caddywell Lane, Great Torrington, Devon, was undertaken by AC archaeology during August 2017. The evaluation consisted of the machine-excavation of nine trenches totalling 215m in length with each 1.8m wide, as well as three small open areas measuring 16m x 8m, 15m x 8m and 11m x 8m. The evaluation has confirmed the interpreted results of the geophysical survey, in that the buried remains of a ditched enclosure is present in Site C, the eastern field of the proposed development. Although undated, the enclosure, which is largely defined by a single ditch with two entrances, is of a type that may be regarded as typical of later prehistoric or Romano-British settlement sites in Devon. Only a few features were identified within the enclosure and these remain undated. No structures, such as roundhouses, were present. Outside the enclosure five postholes were revealed; four of these were in a cluster and the finds indicate that they may be of prehistoric date. A gully cut by the enclosure ditch indicates that there is more than one phase of prehistoric use present on the site. A field boundary ditch of modern date was the only feature uncovered in Site B, the central field. A small collection of finds was recovered, comprising prehistoric worked flint, medieval and post-medieval pottery, a medieval copper alloy jetton and a piece of late post-medieval glass. Palaeoenvironmental sampling showed small-scale evidence for ironworking and limited wild and domestic plant use.
