Abstract:		 The results of archaeological monitoring and recording during groundworks associated with the construction of a garage at Higher Kingdon Barn, Gammaton, Alverdiscott, Devon. The work was undertaken as part of the planning conditions for the development. The proposed development is situated near the summit of a hill, on its western slope, at a height of c.140m AOD. To the west, the land slopes down to a stream valley and Gammaton Reservoirs, to the east the land remains fairly high, but undulating. A total of 13 features primarily relating to the remains of a post-medieval building were identified, including: 4 cobble surfaces, 2 stone walls, with 1 associated cut; 1 wall robber cut/drain; 1 drain and 2 associated curb/threshold features associated with the cobbled surfaces; a number of layers of demolition rubble and a localised plaster layer. There was also a modern service pipe cutting through much of the site. Evidence of structural features which reflect multiple phases of construction and alteration possibly dating as early as the late 16th or more likely 17th century indicate the presence of a small building and external yard surface that were likely associated with a farmhouse, which may have been of a high status at this time.
