Abstract:		 The results of an archaeological and heritage assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land at Roborough House Hotel, Pilton, Barnstaple, Devon, in advance of a planning application for the site. The site is located on the footprint of the former Roborough House Hotel, a short distance north-east of the Barnstaple suburb of Pilton. Few records are available relating to the house, but some of the features of its landscaped gardens survive, including the partial remains of the Grade II Listed folly and Grade II Listed summerhouse and terrace. The house itself was demolished following a fire in the late 20th century which left the buildings structurally unsafe. The site lies c.120m south-west of Burridge Hillfort, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The former house site forms an obvious void in what remains a cohesive and well preserved, if obscured, small parkland landscape. It negatively contributes to the wider location at present, emphasising the loss of the former pocket estate. It is considered that the character of the wider site could be improved by the rebuilding of a substantial and well considered building, provided its aesthetics were carefully considered to compliment the woodland and surviving structures. Additional benefits could be in facilitating the active management of the woodland and parkland features and structures.
