Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by AC archaeology during September 2018 and between March and September 2021 at Hoe Promenade Public Conveniences, Plymouth (NGR SX 47891 53926). The work was associated with the development of a new conveniences building. The site lies within Scheduled Monument No. 1012943, The Royal Citadel, a mid-17th century bastioned artillery defence. The groundworks uncovered the remains of two walls that were associated with the West Ravelin, mid-18th century defences that replaced a place d’armes associated with The Royal Citadel. Several dumped clay deposits associated with the raising of the ravelin during its construction were recognised. Other deposits contained abundant stone and mortar and comprising the levelling of the ravelin after 1888 as well as structural elements associated with the previous conveniences structure were recorded. A small quantity of pottery sherds and clay tobacco pipe pieces were recovered and are of post-medieval date. |
