Abstract:		 Results of a desk-based assessment of the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon building and the immediate surroundings. This work was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. on behalf of Alison Mills; Museum Development Manager for North Devon District Council , in order to inform proposals to extend the museum to the north-west incorporating part of the site of Bridge End House that was demolished in 1963 . The site is at the north end of the Long Bridge parts of which potentially have a 13th century construction date. In 1584 buildings stood each side of the north end of the Long Bridge one of which may have been the chapel of St. Thomas à Becket Until 1722 the site of the Museum and the adjacent Square was a tidal marsh circumnavigated to the west by a causeway from the Long Bridge and to the east by a roadway connecting Litchdon Street to the town . The museum building was constructed in 1872 as a private dwelling and from 1888 housed the North Devon Athenaeum. It became the museum in 1988. The Bridge End building was also constructed in 19th century and demolished in 1963. No archaeological works have taken place in the immediate vicinity of the site however this is an area of high archaeological potential although the 19th century construction and later demolition of Bridge End House may have removed any archaeological features or artefactual remains.
