Abstract:		 A phased programme of archaeological works was carried out by AC archaeology between March and November 2011 on land to the south of Court Lane, Seaton, Devon (NGR SY 2449 9047). The site occupies 0.3 hectares of land on the northwest side of Seaton, in a general area where finds dating from the prehistoric, Romano-British and medieval periods have been recorded. The works comprised the machine excavation of 18 evaluation trenches, two open area hand excavations, and a watching brief on selected parts of the development. Localised archaeological features were exposed in three main areas under a thick consistent subsoil layer. These comprised a probable two-phase hearth with in situ burning, ditch terminals, and a number of small pits. Based on finds recovered and position in the layer sequence, these are likely to be prehistoric, probably Bronze Age in date. The bulk of the finds recovered comprises prehistoric worked flint and chert, mainly recovered from the overlying subsoil layer. The probable hearth yielded two conjoining sherds of middle to late Bronze Age pottery. Analysis of the lithics indicates that in situ flake production was taking place, mostly in the early Bronze Age, but with some evidence for later Bronze Age industry. Overall, there was no evidence for domestic or agricultural activity.
