Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment, geophysical survey, heritage impact assessment and evaluation trenching carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land North of Chapel House, Stoke Rivers, North Devon as part of the planning submissions for the site for a residential development. The site is located to the west of the Parish Church of St. Bartholomew, occupying part of a field shown as a single larger field from at least the early 19th century. The field was subsequently sub-divided in the 20th century. The geophysical survey identified eleven groups of anomalies the most significant of which were probable ditch features associated with removed boundaries. Possible modern services and disturbed ground were identifiable in the southern part of the survey area. The results of the geophysical survey served to highlight areas to target during the evaluation excavations. The evaluation trenching validated the results of the geophysical survey, and six ditches, the remnants of a hedgebank and a lead water pipe were exposed and excavated. The majority of these features dated to the postmedieval or modern era, although a small assemblage of residual late medieval material was also recovered. On the basis of the geophysical survey, evaluation trenching and desk-based assessment the archaeological potential of the site appears to be low. The overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as neutral to negligible. The impact of the development on the low valued buried archaeological resource may be permanent and irreversible.
