Abstract: |
Evaluation trenching was carried out over the southern part of the proposed route of the Barnstaple western bypass. Significant archaeological remains were found towards the south end of the route, near Little Pill Farm. A scatter of Late Mesolithic worked flint and quantities of medieval pottery were found in separate subsoil layers, and a hollow-way, from which 17th century pottery was recovered, was also recorded. An abraded sherd of Bronze Age pottery was recovered from a deposit filling a relict east-flowing tributary of the River Taw. |
