Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by AC archaeology during groundworks associated with the construction of a new country house on land at North Grey's Farm, Membury, Axminster, Devon. Five ditches (F103, F105, F111, F113 and F115) and a tree throw or possible pit (F107) were exposed within the area stripped for the country house and the excavations for the ground heat system trenches. Parallel ditches F103 and F105 were likely to have represented flanking ditches to a former hedgebank of probable medieval to post-medieval origin. Probable equivalent ditch segments F111 and F113 were undated, but its alignment, which differed from parallel ditches F103 and F105, as well as the lighter colour fill, may suggest that it had an earlier origin, but this could not be confirmed. This was unlikely to have been the case for ditch F115, which although it contained a worked flint find, was probably of a more recent origin based on its fill composition. The diffuse nature of F107 suggests that it is more likely to have been a natural feature, perhaps associated with the former hedgebank as represented by flanking ditches F103 and F105. The recovery of a number of worked flints complements the previously-recorded finds made in the vicinity that suggest a background of prehistoric activity in the general area.
