Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology in August 2012 on land at the University of Plymouth, Plymouth, Devon (NGR SX 48063 54953). The work was undertaken in support of a planning application for the construction of a four-storey Performing Arts Centre. A total of three trenches were excavated, all of which contained elements of a well-preserved linear World War II air raid shelter. The shelter was in the form of a tunnel with a concrete reinforced roof, and represents the re-use and re-modelling of a section of Plymouth Leat. Other features exposed include walls, surfaces and pits of 19th century date. All pottery and other finds recovered date to the 19th century. |
