Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was asked to undertake a desk-based assessment and walkover survey on land adjacent to 3 Kempley Road, Okehampton, Devon. The desk-based appraisal suggests that the proposal site formerly comprised two fields, and that all of the buildings present on the site are late 19th century or later in origin. The northern and eastern boundaries of the site are depicted on 1841 tithe map. The presence of earlier fabric in the northern boundary was confirmed during the site visit, although the wall has been subject to phases of re-build. The cartographic evidence suggests that the general area in which the site is located is likely to have been enclosed in the medieval period, and the two fields formed from a rationalisation of strip fields based upon a formerly open medieval field system. The geotechnical report for the site indicates that the test-pitting was carried out in 2010, so we were unable to monitor this activity. There are few recorded sites in the area, and no significant features of archaeological interest were identified during the walkover survey. The 19th and 20th activity and buildings on the site are also likely to have caused some level of truncation across much of the site. On that basis, the archaeological potential of the site can be assessed as low to medium. It is important to note that this is not a visual impact assessment, and makes no attempt to quantify the potential effect of any proposed development on the setting of nearby heritage assets.
