Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology between September and October 2012 at Buckland Abbey, Devon (SX 4901 6666). The site lies outside the scheduled area to the east of the main Buckland Abbey complex (SM 24846). An Iron Age enclosure and medieval farm building were identified to the north west of the proposed car park extension during excavations undertaken in advance of the construction of a new access path from the car park to the Abbey in 1987-8. Earthworks are present in the small paddock to the north of this path extending into a strip of woodland between the current car park and a lane A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the extension of the car park and associated works. The initial ground reduction for the new car park extended to a depth of 0.3m, while the service runs and drainage were on average between 0.8-1m deep. Inspection of the exposed area showed no evidence of archaeological activity. It contained a 0.3m thick mid to dark brown silty loam topsoil (100), overlying a 0.2m thick mid to mid red brown silty loam subsoil (101). A mid yellow silty sand natural (102) with very frequent shale inclusions was encountered at a depth of 0.5m below current ground level.
