Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a series of evaluation trenches in the area of a proposed housing development at Lower Poole Barns, North Molton in North Devon. The work was carried out as part of the planning application for the development. The site is located on a steep sloping hill to the south-west edge of the settlement of North Molton, bounded to the north by a farmhouse, to the east and south by fields and to the south-west by Holdridge Lane. The evaluation identified a total of five buried archaeological features, including: one ditch, one gulley, two post-holes and one pit/tree-throw. It also identified that much of the northern end of the site had been truncated when a substantial storm drain was put in. Only two of the buried features can be dated, a Post-Medieval historic field boundary gulley and a 16th-17th century pit with evidence of metalworking in the vicinity. The remaining buried features are undated, though do not appear to be of any great antiquity, and may relate to field boundaries not recorded on the historic mapping. Post-holes [311] and [318] may provide evidence of former timber structures, though their presence to either side of a ditch would suggest that they may perhaps have been fence-posts running alongside. The recovery of slag deposits from the site indicates the presence of metalworking in the vicinity, perhaps even on the site. This is not surprising given the history of North Molton, although the location is away from the main known historic activity.
