Abstract: |
A rapid desk-based assessment was undertaken for a rising main at Noss Mayo, near Plymouth, Devon. There has been no systematic study of the archaeology of this locality, but there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate human activity since later prehistoric times. The locality is well-represented in the Domesday Survey and the area is likely to have been farmed since the medieval period. Noss Mayo retains its traditional character as a small riverside settlement enveloped by a pastoral fieldscape. The study area for this project took in a buffer of 500m around the line of the rising main. Within this area there were few known sites, and none that coincided with the route of the main. The County Archaeologist did not recommend any further archaeological monitoring during construction of the rising main. |
