Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations along a South West Water pipeline were undertaken as a result of a geophysical survey at Stencoose. The excavations uncovered an Iron Age or Romano-Cornish structure which dated between approximately 600 BC - AD 400. The building was situated within an artificial terrace, and was surrounded by pits and a field system of Romano-Cornish date. The structure comprised two short lengths of earth and stone walling which joined together to form a simple open ended building. Very little actual occupation evidence was gathered from the interior of the structure. It could only be dated by the finds from features which cut into the walling of the building. The discovery of the structure was important because it added another type of building to the range excavated later prehistoric or Romano-Cornish buildings in Cornwall. [Au] |
