Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Saltire Property Development Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation at the site of the former Frobisher and Fleet House, Ebrington Road, Plymouth in advance of redevelopment. The site lay on the line of the projected town defences. A trench measuring 13m in length demonstrated that any traces of the town ditch were terraced away during groundwork to construct Frobisher House. Nevertheless, the results of the evaluation indicated that a short length of the town ditch may have survived on the projected line, beneath Trafalgar Street however, at the time of the evaluation, access was prevented by a stone wall, which was to be demolished as part of the planned redevelopment of the Site. A subsequent archaeological watching brief was maintained on 30th November 2012 to enable the archaeological recording of any deposits following the wall's removal. The wall appeared to be the remains of a cellar, of likely late 19th or 20th century date. No evidence of the defences was noted following the walls removal and no other archaeological finds or features were recorded. |
