Abstract: |
A trial pit evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology during April 2018 at Peirson House, Mulgrave Street, Plymouth, Devon. The site lies close to the assumed extent of Stray Park burial ground, a Royal Naval hospital cemetery dating to the late 18th to early 19th centuries. The work comprised the excavation of seven trial pits positioned to provide a sample coverage of the site. The trial pits exposed structural remains that were related to former 19th century tenements and the recently-demolished Pierson House flats. A probable stone drain was also exposed. This was also of likely 19th century date. No evidence for cemetery remains were exposed. Furthermore, terracing of much of the site into the hillslope to the south had almost certainly removed the potential for pre-modern archaeological features and deposits. |
