Steinmetzer, M., 2009, Archaeological Monitoring at Priory Cottage, Snapper, Barnstaple (Report - Watching Brief). SDV342730.
Monitoring was undertaken when a new house was built at Priory Cottage in 2008. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were exposed to the east of Priory Cottage. Earthwork remains disturbed by the new house were exposed to the west where a section of earthen bank up to 3.1 metres high was exposed. This was interpreted as material removed during the construction of the building terrace to form an artificial southeastern boundary. No artefacts were recovered from this feature but it was thought to be of Post Medieval date.
