Abstract: |
Archaeological recording and monitoring was carried out by during repairs to the northern lock on the Tamar Canal. It was opened in 1801 as the Tamar Manure Navigation, and closed in the 1940s. The repairs comprised drilling holes into the masonry to inject resin behind and into the bonding of the lock walls. This caused minimal damage to the monument and has left no visible evidence of the repairs. The lock walls contain rebates for stop planks, but unusually are also partially recessed between these rebates creating a wider waterway. The function of this space is unknown, but it could represent a winding hole or turning space for vessels. |
