Abstract:		 The results of an archaeological earthwork survey and evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Columbjohn Wood, Killerton Park, Broadclyst, Devon. Previous work undertaken by SWARCH had identified a large hollow on the top of the hill in Columbjohn Wood and tentatively identified it as the site of the lost Wyatt House, designed, partly constructed and then demolished in the later 1770s. The evaluation was fully validated by the discovery of wall foundations that closely correlate with the 1775 plans of James Wyatt. The thick exterior wall foundations of the west elevation and a robber trench corresponding with the apsidal north portico were identified, as were the internal walls of the basement level corridor and billiard room. The significance of the Wyatt House site is considerably enhanced by the rarity of unfinished great houses. Standing buildings are relatively numerous, and destroyed or demolished examples are also fairly common. However, there are relatively few unfinished examples, of which only a handful have ever been investigated. Given that this site is well-preserved and not under threat, it may be a candidate for Scheduling. In addition, as part of the narrative of life at Killerton, it could play an important role in the visitor experience.
