Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological trench evaluation on land at Barton Farm, Burlescombe, Devon (NGR ST 07769 17076), was undertaken by AC archaeology during April 2012. The site occupies approximately 4.6 hectares of pasture land within a single field. A magnetometer survey carried out across the site identified a series of anomalies including the presence of magnetic debris within the southern and eastern parts of the site. The evaluation comprised the excavation of five trenches totalling 101m in length. This identified generally negative results in the majority of trenches, although a small pit and dump of ironworking waste was identified in one area, while an undated ditch was recorded elsewhere. The ironworking waste and pit are similar in character to a number of other deposits identified immediately adjacent to the site at Town Farm, where furnaces, debris and other industrial features have been previously identified dating to between the 8th and 10th centuries. A radiocarbon date obtained from charcoal within the pit from Barton Farm calibrates to 650-770 cal AD, and is significantly earlier than the adjacent Town Farm site. This indicates that ironworking in the immediate area is longer-lived than previously thought and is likely to have extended from early/middle Saxon times, through to the late Saxon and early medieval periods.
