Abstract: |
An archaeological strip, map and sample excavation was undertaken during construction of a solar farm on land at Trevilley Farm Lane, Newquay, Cornwall. A geophysical survey carried out by Stratascan Ltd identified a number of possible archaeological features located within the application area, including a rectilinear enclosure with a possible associated trackway in the north-west part of the site, and a linear feature in the middle and southern part of the site. The investigation comprised the machine-excavation of five areas (Areas A-E) within the proposed site to target these features. The investigation has established the presence of the rectilinear enclosure targeted by Area E, although the possible associated trackway to the west of the enclosure and targeted by Areas A and B was not present. The enclosure measured approximately 20m along the north-south axis and comprised two linear ditches that measured between 1.06-1.10m wide by 0.14m deep. No finds were recovered, although a single struck flint recovered from Area B to the west may suggest a prehistoric date. A pair of parallel linear features was also present within Area C. These likely represent flanking ditches either side of a former post-medieval hedgebank boundary. |
