Full description
Southwest Archaeology, 2008, Barn at Virworthy Wharf, Sutcombe, Devon (Report - Survey). SDV340607.
Single storey, rubble stone barn at Virworthy wharf on the Alfardisworthy branch of the Bude Canal. The canal was opened in the 1820s to import lime and sand into the agricultural hinterland of north Devon. The Alfardisworthy branch was built as a navigable feeder. Its main purpose being to carry water from a reservoir to the main line of the canal but it was also large enough to be navigated by tub boats. The barn is typical of those on the Bude canal and was used for storing perishable or valuable goods.
