Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation on land north of Westentown, Kingston, South Hams, Devon (NGR SX 6382 4806), was undertaken by AC archaeology during July 2017. The evaluation consisted of the machine-excavation of eight trenches totalling 252m in length and each 1.9m wide. These were positioned to target anomalies identified by a previous geophysical survey. Six of the trenches contained archaeological features and two were negative. A ditch for an enclosure in the northeast part of the site confirmed the results of the geophysical survey and contained one sherd of pottery of mid to late Iron Age date, as well as residue from ironworking along with some charred plant remains. A cobbled surface related to a post-medieval agricultural building known from historic mapping was uncovered. Other features were undated, but appear to relate to agricultural activities in the form of former field boundary and drainage ditches. The remaining finds from the site were of post-medieval date and comprised a small assemblage of pottery, ironwork, glass and animal bones.
