Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for an agricultural development at Land off Chains Road, Sampford Peverell, Mid Devon, Devon. The work was carried out in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (Boyd 2021) that was drawn up in consultation with the Devon County Council Historic Environment Team (DCHET). Two evaluation trenches that totaled 46.5m in length were excavated to a depth of c.0.32m by machine using a 1.6m wide toothless grading bucket and under archaeological supervision. The stratigraphy of the site was comprised of an active red silt clay loam topsoil that overlaid a firm to compact slightly grey-red silt loam with rare shillet fragments natural. A total of three features were identified across the site, including: Ditch [102]; Ditch [106]; and a spread of brick and concrete rubble and red-brown soil. The two ditches were aligned east-west and they ran parallel to one another. They had steep sloping sides and steep concave bases, they measured c.0.3m in width, and they measured c.0.2m in depth. The spread of brick and concrete rubble and red-brown soil represented the remains of a removed boundary. Only a small quantity of finds was recovered during the works, including: 14 iron nails; two fragments of an iron strap; some barbed wire; and one iron bolt. The finds were subsequently discarded. The results of the archaeological evaluation indicated that there were no significant archaeological deposits present and few significant archaeological features were identified.
