Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and evaluation trenching on land at Totnes Road, Ipplepen, Devon. Ipplepen was first recorded between the 10th-12th centuries. The 1839 Tithe apportionment shows the site as split between various estates owned by Crocker, Hellings, Lang and Drake. Devon's HLC describes the site as in Medieval farmland. The site specifically has not been subject to any previous archaeological fieldwork. However, the wider area contains prehistoric field systems and settlements, worked flint and Roman finds, medieval lime kilns, and nearby, to the north-east of the site, a multi-phased (including Iron Age) site at Dainton Elms Cross. The geophysical survey identified multiple features, including; a probable roundhouse, a ditch and bank demonstrative of a previous boundary, a possible trackway or similar feature that ran along the western extent of the site, and a linear cut feature and a possible pit were at the northern end of the site. The archaeological evaluation and excavation validated the geophysical survey; presenting features that corresponded to geophysical anomalies. It proved the presence of an Iron Age roundhouse, a Bronze Age ditch, field drains and relict elements of the extant field system. The Middle Iron Age roundhouse included an off-centre 'hearth' and its ring-ditch contained a small amount of probable 2nd/3rd century BC South Western Decorated Ware. This ring-ditch produced charcoal that provided radiocarbon determinations of 167-20 Cal BC. The site was a contemporary of some of the larger Dainton Elms Cross site to the north-east, which contained large quantities of finds.
