Abstract: |
A magnetic survey was commissioned by the National Trust to prospect land on the headland at Gunwalloe for buried structures of archaeological interest, under the aegis of the Unlocking Our Coastal Heritage project. The survey revealed that the headland has been cultivated in the past and may also have been subdivided by one or more field boundaries. The existence of a band of occupation debris just within the rampart of the fort has been confirmed and seems likely to have continued much of the way along and is now being eroded by the sea. A likely prehistoric cremation site, perhaps a low barrow, was found and this appears to be similar to another found buried beneath the rampart. A small enclosure defined by a ditch appears to have been almost lost to the sea at the southern tip of the headland. |
