Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during November 2011 at Holsworthy Livestock Centre, Holsworthy, Devon (NGR SS 3440 0340). The site lies on the southern edge of Holsworthy and is bordered to the south by the River Deer. While much of the site is occupied by buildings, or areas of hardstanding associated with the livestock market, the southern edge of the site, adjacent to the river, is largely undeveloped and had the potential for the survival of palaeo-environmental remains. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of five trenches, with a combined length of 53.50m and located in the southern part of the site close to the river. The work established the presence of disturbed ground and substantial dumped deposits in many of the trenches, probably resulting from general ground clearance and levelling of land carried out during construction of the livestock market in the 20th century. While no pre-modern archaeological deposits or features were recorded during the evaluation, alluvial deposits were present adjacent to the River Deer in the southeast corner of the site. These deposits were present below over 1m of modern overburden and no organic material, charcoal, ecofacts or other palaeo-environmental remains were present.
