Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology commissioned by AECOM, on behalf of the Sherford Consortium, undertook a two-phase trial trench evaluation; RMA1.1 and NEVS Areas 1-10 within the Phase 1 area of the proposed new community at Sherford, Plymouth, Devon. These evaluations, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SX 53961, 53689, were carried out in four phases from 12th to 16th January 2015, 12th to 27th February 2015, 18th March 2015, 23rd to 24th March and 30th to 31st March 2015. Fifty-six trenches were excavated, ranging from 10 m to 80 m in length and 1.60 m to 1.90 m in width. All trenches were positioned either in areas of advanced planting or targeted on identified geophysical anomalies. The RMA1.1 evaluation revealed sparse archaeological features to the south of the site, consisting of old field boundaries and drainage ditches. A metalled surface located to the south-east of the site could be post-medieval, related to the Sherford Kilns or the now demolished Gore Farm immediately to the east and north respectively. The NEVS Areas 1-10 evaluation to the north of the site also revealed several field and paddock boundaries. The truncated remains of a Middle Bronze Age roundhouse were identified in a single trench on the southern edge of the Site, whilst Romano-British features identified to the extreme north of the Site could represent possible settlement activity. Artefacts recovered from the features indicated a date of early to mid-Romano-British with fine and coarsewares represented. Little truncation of the archaeological features was noted across the evaluation.
