Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation on land at Higher Winsford Farm, Bideford, Devon (centred on NGR SS 431 262) was undertaken by AC archaeology during March 2014. The proposed development area occupies approximately 49 hectares of land utilised as pasture within the grounds of the former landscaped parkland of Moreton Park, on the west side of Bideford. A previous geophysical survey had identified a series of anomalies, including a possible ring ditch and linear features. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of 15 trenches totalling 532m in length, with each 1.60m wide. These were positioned mainly to target some of the geophysical anomalies. Archaeological features and deposits were present in most trenches, with the main concentration being in the northeast part of the site where, although the majority of features were undated, the presence of post holes, pits and curving gullies is characteristic of early settlement. Elsewhere, features associated with the former landscaped parkland, quarry pits and linear features were recorded, with many of these dated to the post-medieval and modern periods.
