Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based assessment, geophysical survey, and heritage impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land at Long Rock, Ludgvan, Penzance, Cornwall, in advance of a planning application for the site. The proposed site would be located towards the eastern edge of Long Rock and immediately adjacent to current residential areas. The archaeological potential of this site is low, with no notable assets within the immediate vicinity of the site. The geophysical survey undertaken for this site identified multiple linear anomalies representing removed historic field boundaries and drainage. Much of the western extent of the site contains large areas of made ground which could potentially obscure any archaeological anomaly groups. Monitoring of geotechnical investigations on the site suggest that the site is above the level of known peat deposits identified elsewhere within Mounts Bay, including geotechnical logs for just south of the site. On the basis of this survey, and the sites wider context, the archaeological potential of the site is low. |
