Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation on land off Conigar Close, Hemyock, Devon (NGR ST 1321 1328), was undertaken by AC archaeology during October 2017. The evaluation consisted of the machine-excavation of 14 trenches totalling 155m in length and each 1.8m wide. These were positioned to target anomalies and 'blank' areas identified by a previous geophysical survey. The majority of the trenches contained negative results. A paucity of features and finds on the site indicates that there is no surviving buried evidence for intensive use of the site for industrial activity or settlement. It appears that the main use of the site has been for agriculture in historic times and the shallow remains of a pair of isolated pits indicate that they have been heavily truncated by ploughing. The wide spread of small amounts of iron slag across the site suggests that it has been displaced from the known probable 8th century ironworking site just to the north and beyond the boundaries of the current proposed scheme. As well as the iron slag, a small collection of finds was recovered, comprising two pieces of prehistoric worked flint, one sherd of post-medieval pottery and an iron object.
