Abstract:		 This proposed development site occupies two pasture fields to the north of Lee Mill village (centred at SX 5978 5587), originally in the ancient parish of Plympton St Mary but then in that part renamed Sparkwell parish in 1966. There is only limited evidence for archaeological activity in the general area. Investigations nearby during the upgrading of the A38 Trunk Road in the 1970s produced only a small quantity of artefacts and no in situ archaeological deposits. Two possible features have been identified within the site boundary - previous use as a rack field during the post-medieval period (where cloth that had been fulled was stretched and dried) and a now-removed field boundary recorded on early maps. Immediately to the east of the site was a mill complex with a varied industrial history. Originally it appears to have served as the manorial corn mill of the manor of Challonsleigh, with fulling added by the 15th century and spinning, seemingly briefly early in the 19th century. Another short period saw it manufacturing writing slates and pencils before serving as a paper mill for its last 75 years.
