Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of the Exmoor Mires Partnership (EMP) (the Agent) on behalf of Exmoor National Park Authority (the Client). This evaluation was intended to investigate a potential standing stone recorded during a walkover survey of Hoar Moor in 2009 (Morris 2009). Hoar Moor is located c.2km north of Exford and is within the Codsend and Dunkery Principal Archaeological Landscape (PAL No 16) which contains preserved prehistoric field systems (e.g. MSO9193 to the east of the site) with high palaeoenvironmental potential, along with evidence of post-medieval enclosure and 19th century enclosure (Riley and Wilson-North 2001). The stone under investigation was located on the western edge of a leat (MMO2243) running off the River Quarme, c.600m south of Porlock Post; at a height of c.410m AOD (Figure 1). The soils at the site are the slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged loamy upland soils with a peaty surface horizon of the Wilcocks 2 Association (SSEW 1983); which overlie the sandstones of the Hangman Sandstone Formation and the slate stones of the Ilfracombe Slates Formation (BGS 2019). The evaluation was carried out in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation drawn up in accordance with a brief supplied by the EMP Historic Environment Officer (SWARCH 2019).
