Abstract:		 The development of the port of Charlestown was begun in 1792 by Charles Rashleigh for the purpose of exporting copper ore and china clay. It was this intense industrial history and that so much of the industrial landscape survives that makes Charlestown a unique place. Documentary search showed that the application area itself had been part of this industrial history. There were a number of standing structures within the area of archaeological importance. A number of walls were both early and late property boundary walls, whilst others were the remains of the china clay cellar also shown on the 1825 survey. A track was considered to be an industrial feature, possibly contemporary with the copperage. Building 21 was the only surviving building connected with Charlestown's initial industrial history and may have served as a storage area for the copperage recorded in 1842. All of the above were features of local historic significance.[Au(abr)]
