Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was undertaken in advance of a proposed redevelopment. The site was located within a Conservation Area in the south of the Stonehouse Peninsula in Plymouth, a settlement which was mentioned in Doomsday, but largely developed with the growth of the Royal Naval docks and victualling yard in the 18th century. This assessment demonstrated that there was low potential for the earlier prehistoric period, although Pleistocene caves and fissures may lay within the site. There was also low potential for finds related to the prehistoric period with no sites or findspots known within the study area. Likewise, there were no sites or findspots known for the Romano-British to medieval period and the potential was therefore low for these periods. The map regression showed that the site itself remained agricultural land until the late 18th century when map evidence showed that the underlying limestone was quarried from the area. [Au(abr)] |
