Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording carried out during groundworks associated with the construction of a section of the Tarka Trail cycleway on land at West Fishleigh Farm, Hatherleigh, Devon was carried out by AC archaeology between December 2014 and January 2015. The route of the cycleway lay in close proximity to West Fishleigh Farm, which occupies the site of a medieval manor house listed the Domesday Book. The archaeological investigations recorded the presence of medieval activity to the west of West Fishleigh Farm. This consisted of a repeatedly re-cut boundary ditch and the site of a possible post structure that were likely to have been contemporary with the medieval manor estate. While the activity was primarily dated to the 12th to 15th centuries, residual finds dating from the 11th to 12th century AD suggested the presence of earlier occupation of the area. This earlier date was broadly consistent with the listing of the farm as Fishleigh Manor in the Domesday Book of 1086. A series of ditches relating to post-medieval field boundaries were also exposed and a section through a late medieval to post-medieval upstanding hedgebank was recorded as part of the works.
