Gas main replacement, Plymouth Road, Tavistock

A programme of archaeological works was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with gas main replacement at Plymouth Road, Tavistock, Devon. The remains of the western wall foundation of the western claustral range were identified together with one possible grave and two probable pits in close proximity, while a series of possible demolition layers were uncovered in the area of the eastern range. The partly robbed remains of the southern wall foundation of the eastern end of the Abbey Church were also identified.
