Project Aims:
The aim of the project is to determine the extents, nature, construction and purpose of the rock built wall feature in Jennycliff Bay.
Project Objectives:
To excavate a number of small trenches around the wall to:
1. Confirm the depth of burial below the current seabed surface on the deeper, western side of the wall
2. Define the shape of the wall on the shallower eastern side
3. Investigate the northern and southern extents of the wall where they disappear into the seabed
4. Recover sediment samples from the trenches in an attempt to date the construction of the wall
5. Run a training course in underwater excavation for the SHIPS Project team and as a Nautical Archaeology Society Part III Advanced course
6. Use the project as a means to promote awareness of the submerged cultural heritage of Plymouth within the community, nationally and internationally
