Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by RWE Innogy UK Ltd (the Client) to undertake a programme of archaeological work on land at Batsworthy Cross, Knowstone, Devon, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 282121, 121166. The staged programme of works required on construction impact areas of the 190 ha Site, undertaken between the 30th June and 25th July 2014, and on the 22nd October 2015, comprised the following phases of work; A total of 40 trial trenches were excavated, revealing limited archaeological remains. Several linear features represented post-medieval/modern field boundaries. No datable material was recovered from the features. A detailed earthwork survey undertaken at the north-eastern area of the Site identified a south-west north-east aligned track/droveway, represented by two parallel ditch and banks. Several other associated linears and sub-square mounds were also identified, possibly reflecting an agricultural nature to the landscape use. An area of Strip, Map and Record was subsequently undertaken. The area, c. 0.4ha in size, ran southwards from Beaple's Moor Cross and focused on an area of archaeological features correlating to the visible earthworks identified in a previous geophysical survey and prior earthwork survey. The excavation revealed numerous archaeological features datable to the medieval period. Evidence for a stone-built structure, possibly a farm building, located within a ditched enclosure was revealed. The structure is thought to have been occupied for only a short period of time in a landscape also containing medieval rectilinear enclosures and discrete features including a small hearth. The track/droveway identified as earthworks were also revealed.
