Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief on the site of the former north ravelin forward of the Royal Citadel. The work comprised the observation, monitoring and recording of archaeological features exposed during the topsoil stripping of an area intended for a military memorial and its associated landscaping features. The watching brief clarified the nature of the walls seen in evaluation (OASIS 72696) and demonstrated that the wall remains exposed and recorded corresponded closely to the plan of the ravelin, the Barrack Office, and its associated steps, depicted on a plan of the Citadel of around 1856. It would appear that the exercise has revealed the footings of the inner ravelin revetment wall and the walls of the Barrack Office as they would have been left below ground following demolition and landscaping as part of the conversion of the area into the Hoe Gardens in the 1880s. The watching brief has also confirmed the presence of raised mound material of the 17th century ravelin.
