Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation was carried out by AC archaeology ahead of construction of four dwellings within the former Nat West Bank Car Park, Belle View, Holsworthy, Devon. The site is located within the centre of Holsworthy, with Belle View to the south and Fore Street to the west. It was until recently an asphalt-covered former car park, lying on generally level ground at around 140m aOD. The archaeological works consisted of the machine-excavation of three trial trenches, totalling 34m long by 1.5m wide, which were excavated across the footprint of the proposed terrace of buildings and the rear gardens. Prior to the evaluation a stone-lined well with collapsed slate cap had been exposed during preparation of the site. The results from the evaluation show that the site has been subject to significant levelling and filling to create hard standing in modern times, probably within the second half of the 20th century when the area was converted to car parking. With the exception of the deep well, it is probable that any archaeological remains that had been present were removed during this process. No finds of pre-modern date were present and the modern finds were not retained.
