Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Limited were asked to conduct an archaeological desk based assessment and walkover survey of the Phase 5 Development at Plymouth Science Park, Derriford, Plymouth. The site is presently comprised of a single field, with a terraced and gravel car park to the south. The proposed drainage route was also assessed and encompasses a pedestrian footpath, hedgebank and part of the grounds and the eastern edge of the carparks/verges of the Hyperbaric Medical Centre and the Express Diagnostics and Treatment Centre. The proposal site is located within the former landholding of Devonport Barton, a farm of unknown, but presumed medieval origin. This late becomes part of an early 19th century polite landscape, associated with the Phillip Langmead. The archaeological evaluations and monitoring which have been carried out within the vicinity of the proposal site have had limited returns, except in evidencing a background of Medieval and post-medieval activity; and providing tentative hints at some prehistoric activity also. The walkover survey suggests that the southern and western boundaries of the proposal site are historic field boundaries, although these have been truncated and or rebuilt in several places. There were some very subtle earthworks in the northern field, but these are likely to be from modern earthmoving or post-medieval quarrying. The proposed development will have negligible impact upon any designated heritage assets within the area. |
