Wakeham, C., 2009, Land Adjacent to the River Clyst and Clyst St Mary Bridge, Comming's Marsh, Clyst St Mary, Devon: Results of an Archaeological Watching Brief, 1, 3 (Report - Watching Brief). SDV347488.
By 2008, the flood embankments adjacent to the bridge had subsided by 0.5 metres and required improvement and repair. The works comprised stabilising the existing embankment sub-base and rebuilding using geotextile reinforced earth. The ground reduction for the new floodbank and compound area was not of sufficient depth to expose any early features or deposits, with only modern (late 20th century) layers exposed. The pit revealed in the trench adjacent to the bridge wall also contained modern finds, and no early finds or palaeoenvironmental remains were exposed. Other details: Figure 2, plate 1.
