Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned to undertake a geophysical survey on land at Snape's Point, Salcombe, Devon on behalf of Richard Gatehouse of Lincombe Farm. The site and survey area was located within a large field on the Snape's Point headland, east of Salcombe, Devon. The desk-based assessment did not indicate the presence of any significant features or deposits on the site directly; although, place-name evidence does afford some potential early medieval activity on or near the site. Of some significance is the presence of 2nd world war defensive works on the headland and prehistoric settlements along the coast from Salcombe. The results of the geophysical survey would suggest that there are a number of undated features across the site including potentially medieval or earlier field systems and undated pits or tree-throws. The majority of the probable archaeological responses are associated with historic field boundaries. Investigations further along the headland, which could have been easily cut-off by a defensive work, or on surrounding hills and inlets in the surrounding area may still afford prehistoric archaeological finds or deposits of people taking advantage of the Kingsbridge estuary in a known prehistoric south-west coastal trading zone.
