Abstract: |
During March and April 2010 HE Projects, Cornwall Council, carried out an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of sewer pipe trench at Porthilly, Rock. Recent archaeological excavations in the area around Rock have revealed evidence for Iron Age roundhouse settlements and crop-mark enclosures are known to the east of the pipeline, which meant that there was potential for buried archaeological remains. The watching brief revealed a large ditch which appears to have been part of a late prehistoric enclosure or 'round', the existence of which had previously been suspected on the basis of field-name evidence. Walls of unknown date, but possibly relating to a medieval structure were also encountered. |
