| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on part of the former RAF station at Mount Batten, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The investigations confirmed and clarified the extent of disturbances due to quarries, now demolished buildings and other areas of terracing truncation largely due to the military activities within the study area. Substantial areas of intact soil profile survival were demonstrated, but no archaeological content was defined except for one unstratified sherd of possible Late Neolithic Peterborough Ware. A possible late prehistoric feature was also recorded sealed by colluvial deposits of unknown date which was likely to be associated with other late prehistoric or Roman linear features previously identified within the area.
