Abstract: |
During the course of the archaeological assessment a number of sites were identified ranging in date from the Bronze Age to modern periods. In the vicinity of the study area there were many cliff-top Bronze Age barrows. A putative barrow was recorded at Beagle's Point in the 1960's, but the site had since been lost. A possible round, or Iron Age settlement was identified from field name evidence in the area behind Chynhalls Cliff. Extensive medieval ridge and furrow was identified around Beagle's Point from aerial photographs and other areas of the study area. Such expansion of arable cultivation on to the cliff top margins may have occured during the 13th century climatic and optimum boom, and abandoned during the 14th decline.[Au(abr)] |
