Abstract:		 An auger survey on present and former saltmarshes of the River Taw west of Barnstaple revealed a Holocene sedimentary sequence, comprising a former course of the Taw, coastal and dune-derived sands deposited by high tide flooding events, overbank floodplain alluvium, and localised colluvial deposits. Radiocarbon dating and pollen spectra suggest that this sequence is of historic (i.e. essentially Roman or later) date. Periodic high tide events recorded here may have affected channel silting, which may have become a contributory factor in the decline of seaborne trade out of Barnstaple.
