Allan, J. + Cramp, C. + Horner, B., 2007, The Post-Medieval Pottery at Castle Hill, Great Torrington, North Devon, 140, 168 (Article in Serial). SDV344705.
The earliest excavated context of a dump of kiln wasters from a pottery on Castle Hill contained 60 fragments of clay tobacco pipe. These included 9 bowls datable by their forms to circa 1640-1670. Several are burnt and the condition of others clearly indicates that they are production waste. Many fragments were also found in and around the kiln exposed during the digging of foundations for new houses to the north.
