Abstract:		 An archaeological trench excavation carried out on Challaborough Beach, South Hams, Devon, following a storm that caused significant coastal erosion, was undertaken by AC archaeology during January 2014. Investigations comprised the hand-excavation of two small trenches into newly-exposed deposits identified by a local archaeologist as containing archaeological features and deposits. The investigations exposed a well-preserved occupational sequence that extended between the Late Iron Age and Post-Roman periods. Radiocarbon dates obtained from samples have shown that the occupation probably commenced towards the end of the Iron Age (late 1st century BC to early 1st century AD), with features and deposits including a probable boundary ditch, the accumulation of an occupational soil and the construction of some stone boxes; the function of which was not established but may have related to funerary or specialised industrial activity. Late first century pottery recovered from a ditch re-cut has suggested that the occupation into the Romano-British period was perhaps continuous, while Post-Roman pottery recovered from the probable up-cast of a later ditch and subsequent soil accumulation has shown activity may have continued into the sixth century AD.
