Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation of the site in August 2012 had been carried out with the aim of identifying the presence and condition of the Plymouth Leat, the course of which had been suggested by an anomaly on a ground penetrating radar survey. The Leat was not exposed and the anomaly was identified as a well-preserved linear Second World War air raid shelter. The top of the shelter was fully exposed, and a complete record made of its interior, prior to its demolition. The shelter is of arched construction, and laid out as a covered trench in a 'zig-zag' shape. The benches had been removed, but their brackets remained, along with evidence for the electrical supply and a stove. A small quantity of graffiti on the walls was also recorded. During the demolition of the shelter, the Plymouth Leat was partially uncovered. It was constructed onto the natural bedrock and has limestone walls and a slate capping, although some of the latter had been replaced possibly during the Second World War. The masonry may be of 18th- or early 19th-century date.
