Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by AC Archaeology during ground works associated with the excavation of the first phase of flood defence works around the village of Feniton, East Devon. The monitored groundworks consisted of the initial topsoil-stripping of an approximately 5m wide working-width to a depth of 0.35m below existing levels. The flood-alleviation channel was then excavated within this area to a maximum depth of 1.3m from the stripped level. Monitoring of Phase 1 of flood alleviation works at Feniton recorded a single ditch. Although undated, its dark fill and alignment as approximately comparable to the existing field system, suggests it represents a former component to the probable medieval to post-medieval boundary arrangement. The small assemblage of worked flint provides a background of Neolithic and Bronze Age activity in the general area.
