Full description

Lovatt, A. M., 1990, Excavations within a Medieval Town: North West Barnstaple 1985-1988, 5-6 (Report - Excavation). SDV64370.

A series of clay silts interspersed with roughly laid patches of cobbling were interpreted as the surface of the former Tuly Street in Barnstaple. The lower levels produced solely 1300-1450 material, whilst the upper levels produced pot from 1450-1600. These road make-up layers formed the original line of Tuly Street until the 2 metre encroachment in the 17th century.
