Abstract:		 The site lies immediately to the south of the old Roman road leading eastwards from Exeter. In addition, the site is located in an area where 'ash' fieldnames are recorded on the 1840 Kilmington Tithe map. These may be indicative of the presence of fuel or slag debris within these fields that may be associated with the iron industry that thrived on the Blackdown Hills in the Roman and medieval periods. An evaluation was carried out prior to the start of groundworks. Three trenches, measuring 40m in total, were excavated (Fig. 2), covering the footprint of the proposed development. The trench evaluation constitutes a thorough examination of the site, with trenches positioned to provide a comprehensive sample of those areas affected by the development. Topsoil and subsoil deposits (up to 0.6m deep) have been confirmed, across the whole of the site, but the total removal of this material within trenches 2 and 3 has failed to reveal any evidence for buried archaeological features or deposits. Trench 1 exposed the remains of a probable pit and provides the only potential evidence for 19th century activity. The lack of pottery and lithics from the remainder of the site, despite examination of spoil heaps, further indicates that the potential for significant archaeological survival is low.
