Abstract: |
AC Ltd was commissioned by Daniel Conley of Plymouth University to undertake an archaeological assessment of the site of a proposed temporary radar station at Perranporth Airfield (NGR SW 74090 53220), in accordance with a brief provided by Daniel Ratcliffe, Historic Environment Advisor (Archaeology), to facilitate appropriate planning decisions. The proposed temporary radar station, forms part of scheduled monument 32957: World War II Fighter Pens and Defences part of RAF Perranporth and also includes part of the St Agnes Mining District of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. The airfield also sits within a rich mosaic of historic landscapes with significant timedepth (Ratcliffe p1). The assessment recorded a number of sites in the proposed development area principally associated with post-medieval mining and the World War II airfield, RAF Perranporth, though a number of prehistoric barrows have also been recorded in the vicinity. With slight changes to the proposed layout (specified in recommendations), the proposed development is likely to have little impact on the identified sites on completion of the project. A watching brief of the electric trench should allow for appropriate archaeological management of additional sites in this area. |
