Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in June 2013 at Buckland Abbey, Devon (SX 4901 6666). The site lies within the scheduled area to the east of the main Buckland Abbey complex (SM 24846), in an area of high archaeological potential. The work was therefore required by English Heritage (EH), advised by the National Trust Archaeologist (NT). A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of a solar array and visitor path lighting. The initial ground reduction for the solar array consisted of cut-and-fill, 11.5m x 9m extending to a depth of 0.3m, while the service run was 130m long and on average 0.4-0.5m deep. Inspection of the exposed area showed no evidence of archaeological activity. It contained a 0.3m thick mid to dark brown silty loam topsoil (1000), overlying a 0.2m thick mid reddish brown silty loam subsoil (1001). A mid yellow silty sand natural (1002) with very frequent shale inclusions was encountered at a depth of 0.5m below current ground level. In total there are 13 sherds weighing 195g that are medieval in character. All of these were recovered from the topsoil (1000). They consist of five sherds of North Devon coarseware, with a date range of 13th-early 14th century; 6 sherds of late medieval granite derived hand-made micaceous ware, including two jars, and 3 sherds of 13th-14th century upper greensand derived pottery.
