Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology at Knowle Battery, St Budeaux, Plymouth, during December 2014. The work comprised the excavation of 4 trenches totalling 27m in length, with each trench 1.6m wide. These targeted the now demolished western wall, the military road and the parade ground. Excavation revealed remains of the massive western wall of the battery, while work in the southwest of the development area exposed made ground deposits relating to the construction of the military road in the late 19th century. No earlier features or deposits were found in the remaining trenches. |
