Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AEE Renewables UK 12 Limited to undertake a trial trench evaluation at Coombeshead Farm, Diptford, Devon, The archaeological trial trenching over two areas of the Site comprised the excavation of sixteen 20m trenches, one 40m and one 60m trench. All trenches measured 1.8m in width. All trenches were targeted on anomalies identified in an earlier geophysical survey, in particular a large sub-oval enclosure located in the northern part of the Site. The evaluation identified limited evidence for archaeological remains within the areas investigated on the Site, whether features or finds. However, the evaluation was able to confirm and identify the ditches of a sub-oval enclosure possibly of Romano-British date. Observations during the evaluation partially confirmed the results of geophysical survey. It was noted, that a number of the strong geophysical anomalies were archaeological features albeit pertaining to shallow linear ditch or gully features, and a single posthole and possible pit. No dateable material was recovered from these features. Other geophysical anomalies that had been targeted were shown either not to be present or as a result of the natural underlying geology. Apart from the identification of the enclosure the evaluation has indicated a low potential for the presence of archaeological remains at the Site. Due to the potential significance of the enclosure however, the Client is proposing to remove this area of the Site from the proposed development
