Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AMEC on behalf of RES, to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land some 2.5km south east of North Tawton, Devon (NGR SS 68700 00250). This evaluation was undertaken prior to the construction of nine wind turbines and associated structures and services (planning reference APP/Q1153/A/06/2017162). The evaluation consisted of 26 trenches and an area of excavation and was undertaken in November and December 2012. This investigation successfully located the remains of the known Roman road which runs from east to west through the southern part of the Site. This was found to survive in relatively good condition with much of the stone metalling still in situ. Two wheel ruts were apparent within its surface and a ditch was located on the southern edge. The full width of the road was not seen as the northern edge was truncated and disturbed by the double hedgerow and ditch of the present parish boundary, but was over 7m wide. Another ditch lay just to the south of the road on the same alignment. A small area of activity was seen in Trench 11, in the western part of the Site, consisting of five postholes, a pit and a ditch. Despite the presence of a sherd of prehistoric pottery in the topsoil these features remained undated and their exact purpose unclear despite opening an additional trench. A number of shallow, small ditches were encountered which were concluded to be related to cultivation. A number of these ditches could be identified on late 19th and early 20th century maps but others may be of greater antiquity. Little dating evidence was found in relation to these features; although some small pieces of struck flint were recovered during this investigation which may be indicative of some general prehistoric activity in the vicinity. A stone axe (SF1), found in the northern part of the Site where circular cropmarks have been identified, also indicates prehistoric activity.
