Abstract: |
The desk-based assessment and survey of the site identified the Eastern Traverse as the best surviving remnant of the Hornworks defences built in 1627, and later refurbished. It consisted of an earthen rampart fronted by a defensive ditch with the remains of a gun platform (demi-bastion). The Hornworks Eastern Traverse was designated a site of national significance and part of the Pendennis Peninsula Fortifications Scheduled Monument Area, which together with Pendennis Castle and the other Fal defences, formed a site of international archaeological and historical importance.
