Abstract:		 South West Archaeology undertook an evaluation that uncovered the remains of a surprisingly complex series of intercutting linear features and some shallow irregular pits/postholes. There were very few stratified finds, and the bulk of the recovered material was derived from the topsoil and dates to the period AD 1500-1830. Most of the features could not be securely dated, but some of the recorded elements are Romano-British in date and most of the others are likely to be contemporary or of Prehistoric date. No trace of the posited east-west Roman road was identified. The evidence for domestic occupation was slight and this complex of archaeological features probably represents a series of Prehistoric or Roman field boundaries rather than a settlement. However, a similar conclusion was reached following an archaeological evaluation for the nearby site at Willand Road, and that subsequently produced artefactual and structural evidence for Romano-British occupation in the 1st-2nd centuries AD. The complexity and undoubted longevity of certain elements is also significant. If some of the features do indeed predate the Roman conquest, then it suggests that other elements within the extant historic landscape could be of similar antiquity. The evidence for management change in c.1500 could indicate a date when the open fields of Cullompton began to be enclosed.
