This collection comprises site data (a report, images, database files and site records) from an archaeological evaluation and excavation undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology at Pin Brook Park between July and October 2015.

Excavations revealed a small number of Early Neolithic pits, dated by the presence of pottery with crushed vein quartz inclusions. A small ring-ditch contained Late Neolithic pottery, but charcoal from the same ditch produced a Late Bronze Age radiocarbon date, whilst the backfilled ditch was truncated by a pit associated with a Middle Bronze Age radiocarbon date. No human remains were found, but this is common for barrows found in Devon.
