Abstract:		 Magnetometer, resistance and ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were completed to inform upon the buried remains at Barnstaple Castle. Evidence for the location, structure and demolition of Castle House (1684 to 1976) was recorded as was disturbance from the 1972-75 archaeological excavation that took place in this area between 1972 and 1975. Anomalies representing linear garden features, possibly associated with Castle House, and relatively recent service trenches were recorded. Some of the groups may be associated with earlier phases in history of the castle. Twelve distinct anomalies were recorded in the magnetometer survey which, given their proximity to known Anglo-Saxon burials, may represent graves from the same Anglo-Saxon cemetery. The Motte GPR survey data implied a relatively deeply buried sub-circular structure which may be part of the former donjon. Other radar reflections and resistance anomalies possibly representing several phases of building were recorded on the keep top. Both 19th century landscaping and defensive structures are likely represented. The tarmac carpark was formerly part of the outer bailey and was subjected to a GPR survey. The deposits beneath the tarmac were found to be highly disturbed by services, and by the construction and demolition of market buildings and earlier structures. In the south of the area several small structural elements such as bits of masonry and spreads of rubble were represented in the data. It is proposed that they are fragmented remains associated with the rear of lost burgage plots extending into the site from the south.
