Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by AC archaeology in November 2014 and between May and July 2015 as part of the installation of new services associated with the Plymouth Civic Centre Separation Project, Plymouth (NGR SX 47695 54362). The monitoring was carried out during the excavation of trenches for a new gas main to the Guildhall, a new CCTV supply to the Council House, and heating mains between the Guildhall and Council House. Part of the site is located on a former Baptist burial ground, and three burials along with disarticulated human remains, as well as a boundary wall of the cemetery, were identified. A single grave was excavated, and contained an adult female who was probably in her 20s. An early cobbled surface and part of a late 19th- or early 20th century street surface and associated tramway within the former Westwell Street were exposed. Foundation walls of buildings either side of Westwell Street were also exposed. |
