Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation carried out in support of a planning application for a proposed wind farm at Wheelers Cross, Bradworthy, Devon (centred on NGR SS 347 135), was undertaken by AC archaeology in two stages, between June and November 2011. The site covers two separate locations (Areas A and B) and is situated in an area historically characterised by dispersed medieval farmsteads and associated agricultural land. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of 30 trenches, totalling 640m in length. The main feature type recorded was linear ditches, likely to represent evidence for early land division and drainage. There was a general paucity of artefacts, with what was recovered mainly dating to the post-medieval or modern periods, although a single abraded sherd of locally-made medieval pottery and a prehistoric worked chert flake were also found. Close to the now removed former late medieval or post-medieval farmstead of Nattadon, a small undated 'fire pit' was identified, while just to the west of this a waterlogged humic layer was present. To the north, in the vicinity of Sessacott, the former course of a stream channel was recorded, which appears to have been canalised in recent times. Assessment of soil samples taken from the humic layer, former stream and selected ditch fills has not identified significant quantities of charred plant remains or charcoal.
