Abstract:		 The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) as part of the Lower Otter Restoration Project (Plot B) on land at South Farm, Budleigh Salterton, East Devon, Devon. The site is located c.875m north-east of Budleigh Salterton, beside the east bank of the River Otter in a field classified as Barton Fields; i.e. medieval-post-medieval enclosure. A large number of flint scatters have been recovered during field walking across fields adjacent to the site. The survey identified eleven groups of anomalies, including; a historical field boundary, an undated enclosure or boundary ditch, an undated ditch, a series of geological anomalies or undated ditches, approximately ten possible pits or treethrows, and two possible hollows or sunken structures. Most of these anomalies were concentrated in the north-west part of the site and may be contemporaries of each other. During the survey a relatively large flint scatter was noted and recovered from across the site, particularly its north-west half. This flint scatter included awl/piercers, scrapers, blades and flakes. It seems likely that prehistoric, possibly Bronze Age settlement activity is present on the site, particularly in its north-west quadrant. Ploughing may have resulted in some degree of truncation of any buried archaeological resource.
