Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July 2010 at Cloakham Lawns, Axminster, Devon. Twelve trenches were excavated. A small quantity of residual flint and chert pieces was recovered, providing evidence for prehistoric activity in the vicinity, although no features of this date were identified. A small number of ditches likely to have been Roman field boundaries were identified. These were aligned differently to ditches containing post-medieval artefacts. One ditch contained Roman pottery dating to the 1st to 2nd centuries AD. Small quantities of iron slag were also recovered from two of these ditches, including one piece incorporating a sherd of Roman pottery. The majority of features exposed during the evaluation comprised furrows or field boundaries, some of which correspond with field boundaries depicted on historic maps and with visible earthworks. Post-medieval pottery was recovered from many of these features, although it is possible that some originated during the medieval period. A small number of modern features were also identified and relate to a pumping station seen on a 1948 aerial photograph of the site, to field boundaries and to tenement occupation. No remains relating to the Second World War defences known to have existed within the site were exposed.
