Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by British Land Company Ltd, to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation at 22, 23 Joy Street and 13, 14 and 15 Green Lanes Shopping Centre, Barnstaple EX31 1BP, . The site is proposed for the erection of a retail unit combined with the conversion of existing buildings. The site lies within the historic core of Barnstaple and any ground works have the potential to reveal archaeological deposits associated with the medieval and later settlement here. As a result of consultations with the Devon County Council Historic Environment Team, Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to determine the presence, absence and survival of any archaeological features and / or deposits that may survive within the site. The evaluation consisted of the excavation of 3 trenches originally proposed to be 5m by 1.5m. The presence of services led to the shortening of Trenches 1 and 3. The earliest identified remains consisted of a possible medieval ditch which was aligned with the course of the medieval town walls, a shallow ditch or wall footing and a large stone built buttress structure; all within Trench 2. No finds were recovered which were directly associated with these features to provide a date, however they were clearly different, in form and construction and their location within the archaeological sequence and therefore a medieval date is possible. Later features included post-medieval brick built walls, which were aligned with the existing property boundaries, which followed the arrangement of long narrow properties indicative of medieval burgage plots. Evidence of post-medieval industrial activities were revealed from finds from within a rubbish pit in Trench 3.
