Abstract: |
On 22nd and 23rd February 2010 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council carried out a watching brief for the Cornwall Rural Housing Association Ltd prior to the construction of two affordable houses at Middle Town, St Martin's, Isles of Scilly (SV 92009 16217, Fig 1) in order to satisfy a planning condition. The work was carried out in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation following a brief produced by the Council of the Isles of Scilly Historic Environment Adviser. The site lies within an area of known archaeological interest where it is the LPA's policy to provide for the examination of archaeological remains. The site was farmland and is located within an area categorised as 'bulb strip' that was formed from Anciently Enclosed Land, being land which was enclosed prior to the nineteenth century and is potentially medieval enclosure or earlier (Land Use Consultants 1996). This category of land has potential for archaeological remains. There are two Scheduled Monuments within 200m of the site: SM 15517 Prehistoric cairn cemetery and field system on Tinkler's Hill, St Martin's SM 15519 Prehistoric cairn cemetery, field systems and settlement on Top Rock Hill, St Martin's There are a number of archaeological sites in the vicinity of the development site. These include the following sites identified by Primary Record Number in the Isles of Scilly Historic Environment Record: Two wells (PRNs 7254.01 and 7254.02) Well with hand pump (PRN 7249) Millstones at Ashford Farm, not in situ (PRN 7251) |
