Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in January 2014 during work at Moorside Farm, Broadbury, Devon (SX 4780 9570). The site lies in an area of high archaeological potential close to two Scheduled Bronze Age round barrows (NLE 1017970). Broadbury Castle (NLE 1017969), a possible Roman fortlet or late prehistoric/Romano-British settlement site, is also located within 500 metres of the proposed development. It was therefore considered possible that associated remains or deposits of prehistoric or Roman date may survive within the footprint of the development. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of a wind turbine and associated access and cabling works. The base of the wind turbine was approximately 4m long and 4m wide, extending to a depth of 1.6m. The work associated with the cable trench was on average 0.5m wide and between 0.6-1m deep. These revealed a simple deposit sequence extending across the entire site consisting of 200mm of topsoil over natural subsoil. No deposits, features or dating evidence indicative of archaeological activity was found. The lack of pottery and lithics from the site, despite examination of spoil heaps, further indicates that the site is archaeologically sterile. This is the only report on these works.
