Abstract:		 Archaeological investigations were undertaken by AC archaeology during February 2019 on land east of the Pickwick Inn, St Ann's Chapel, Bigbury, Devon. This comprised a trial trench evaluation and subsequent excavation, which were carried out ahead of a residential development. The archaeological investigations exposed a concentration of archaeological features in part of the site. These comprised numerous postholes, some pits and a hearth. Based on a sherd of pottery recovered from the hearth, this activity was of probable Romano-British date. Hammerscale was also recovered from the hearth. This provided evidence that there was likely to be iron smithing carried out on the site, while the inclusion charred grains also suggested domestic occupation or crop processing. Although almost certainly representing structural remains, the postholes did not form a coherent arrangement. Nevertheless, it was considered that they were likely to represent some form of structure such as a timber building and/or fence division.
