Jones, C., 2022, Land at Mosshayne Farm, Pinhoe, Devon, Phase 2: Evaluation (Report - Evaluation). SDV366370.

In May 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Mosshayne Farm, Pinhoe, Devon.

A total of 21 trenches were excavated. The evaluation recorded a square Roman enclosure, possibly representing a small settlement or farmstead. Two possible internal ditches were noted. There was little evidence for significant activity outside of the enclosure, with the exceptions of a possible contemporary ditch running northwards and undated ditches and pits to the immediate south-west of the enclosure, one of which contained ironworking slag.

In the location of a historic boundary, a north/south aligned ditch 303 was recorded in Trench 3.
