Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Prowting Homes South West to carry out an archaeological evaluation of land at Cumberland Block, Cumberland Road, Devonport, Plymouth, centred on Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference SX 4579 5448. The evaluation was carried out between the 14th and 17th August 2000. This report sets out the results of the evaluation.
The evaluation was carried out according to a Design Brief prepared by the City of Plymouth Archaeology Officer Mr. M. Daniels, and a Wessex Archaeology Written Scheme of Investigation (WA ref. 48414.01). Trenches 1-5 were excavated below the tarmac surface of the current Cumberland Block yard. All the trenches below the modern tarmac surface revealed modern made-ground or overburden deposits overlying natural slates and clays. Only Trench 5 produced any evidence of any structural remains, consisting of two phases of buildings. These are likely to be late 18th, 19th or 20th century in date. Please see Wessex Archaeology report reference: 48414.03 for further detail. |
