Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of W. Sanders on behalf of the Diocese of Exeter (the Client) during groundworks associated with the repair of the churchyard walls at St. Marys Church, Pilton, Barnstaple, Devon. The monitoring was carried out by P. Webb on 10th and 11th August 2015. St. Marys Church is located within the core of the medieval settlement of Pilton, now a suburb on the northern edge of Barnstaple in North Devon. The settlement sits on a shallow ridge running back from the estuary of the River Taw, bounded on the south-east by the River Yeo and to the north-west by Bradiford Water. The church itself sits on a south-facing slope at a height of approximately 21m AOD. The soils of the area are the well-drained fine loamy soils of Denbigh 2 Association (SSEW 1983) overlying mudstone of the Pilton Mudstone Formation (BGS 2015). |
