Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of the Rev. John Leonard of Kingskerswell Parish Church (the Client), to clarify the presence and character of an archaeological feature identified during previous groundworks. This work took place following the construction of a new access road at Kingskerswell Manor House, Foredown Lane, Kingskerswell, Devon. The work was undertaken by J. Bampton on 3rd November 2015 in accordance with a Project Design drawn up in consultation with Stephen Reed of the Devon County Historic Environment Team. The site is located on an east-facing slope north-west of the parish church, on the west side of Kingskerswell, at a height of c.30m AOD. The soils of this area are the well-drained gritty reddish loamy soils of the Crediton Association (SSEW 1983), which overlie the breccias of the Watcombe Breccia Formation (BGS 2015). The Teignbridge Council Conservation Area character statement (2009) identifies the manor house as an important pre-Conquest manorial site. The manor is known to have been a residence of the wealthy Dinham family in the 14th-15th centuries, after which the Courtenay family of Powderham held the manor and the site declined to the status of a tenanted farm. It became ruinous in the 18th-19th century. The standing remains are Listed grade II and the site is Scheduled.
