Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned to carry out archaeological recording of the dry dock. Planning permission was sought to backfill the dry dock in order to create an area of hardstanding. The study included a desk-based assessment involving historic research into both the structure and its immediate environment; fieldwork in the form of a detailed measured survey, a photographic record and appropriate notes and sketches to describe the structure; followed by creation of a site archive and the production of this report. The condition set out as part of the planning permission requested excavation of the base of the dock to establish the nature of the flooring. This aspect of the study could not be safely undertaken due to the instability of the ground and depth of the estuarine silts. The dry dock was a Grade II Listed Building. [Au(abr)] |
