Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A group of ten pits was recorded to the north of Roche Rock during archaeological fieldwork at Tregarrick Farm, Roche. The pits were found to contain structured deposits of Neolithic date, which included pottery, flints, a small saddle quern and charred hazelnuts. Radiocarbon determinations ranging over the period 3790--3370 cal BC were obtained from six of the pits, suggesting that the site was in use over several centuries. Analysis of charred environmental material indicated that oak and hazel woodland with some clearings existed nearby. It is suggested that the pits were the result of ritualized activity associated with seasonal gatherings close to a prominent landscape feature. The investigation has given a rare insight into Early Neolithic activity in lowland Cornwall and confirms the significance of Roche Rock as an important place in the landscape several millennia before the construction of the fifteenth-century chapel.
