Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during March 2019 on land at Sanderson’s Field, Kingston, Devon. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of seven trenches totalling 179m in length, with each 1.5m wide. A previous geophysical survey indicated the presence of part of a possible squared enclosure within part of the site. Of most interest from the evaluation was the evidence for Romano-British rural settlement in the northeast part of the site, as also identified by the geophysics. General evidence for activity dating to this period, and similar types of settlement, has been found elsewhere in the South Hams. The small size of the enclosure ditches, the lack of discrete features, such as pits and postholes, and the paucity of finds indicates that preservation of any associated settlement evidence is likely to be poor. This is probably due to plough truncation over several centuries of agricultural use of the site prior to its conversion for use as a village cricket green. The only artefact recovered was a small sherd of Roman pottery from the enclosure ditch.
