Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation on land at The Mound, Royal Citadel, Plymouth (NGR SX 4804 5397), was carried out during February 2010. The work comprised the hand-excavation of 4 trenches totalling 20m in length, with each trench 1m wide. These were excavated in order to establish the archaeological potential of the area of the north ravelin affected by the proposal for a war memorial with associated paved area. Excavation revealed remains of the barrack office walls within the ravelin at the northern end of the site, while work in the centre and rear of the development area revealed made ground deposits relating to the construction of the ravelin in the late 17th century. No earlier features or deposits were found. |
