Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation, strip map and sample excavation and watching brief on land at The Grove, Area 3, Jetty Marsh, Newton Abbot, Devon, (NGR SX 8562 7247) was undertaken by Exeter Archaeology between August and October 2007. The site is located adjacent to the hamlet of Sandford Orleigh and lies in an area where prehistoric and Romano-British activity has been previously identified. Investigations comprised the excavation of twelve trenches, totalling 575m in length, with a subsequent targeted strip, map and sample excavation. A separate series of test pits were observed as a watching brief. The evaluation trenches exposed a series of small-scale agricultural ditch features, some of which were present on the 1840 parish tithe map. The ditches were largely undated but the majority are likely to be post-medieval in date. A small portion of an 18th -to 19th-century stone structure was also exposed. The strip map and sample excavation exposed a series of wide, shallow profile ditch features of uncertain, but possibly Romano-British date. On the whole, the ditches exposed in the excavation area were relatively wide with distinctive shallow, flat-based profiles and gradual to moderately sloping sides. The function of these features is not known, although the fills were generally largely sterile and contained few finds, indicating that that they were not closely associated with settlement activity. Many of the fills, however, contained patches of heat-affected clay, the presence of which suggesting some form of localised burning activity.
