Full description
Gillard, M., 2009, The Barton, North Tawton, Devon: Results of Archaeological Excavations (Report - Excavation). SDV347928.
Excavation in advance of a new warehouse extention to the north of the existing commercial buildings revealed a pair of cooking pits (120 and 220). The ceramic evidence from pit 120 is suggested of an early pre AD69 date. The radiocarbon dating of charcoal from 220 accords with this. The pits may have been related to but outside the marching camp or, alternatively, within an annexe or another camp of which ditch 132 was the northern boundary.
