Abstract: |
HE Projects was commissioned by Mr John Briggs, of Property Care Developers Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological recording ahead of the construction of a new dwelling adjacent to the Wheal Buller Riding Stables (SW 69718 39909), to the south of Redruth. The site lies within the mine sett of Wheal Buller that was one of the most productive copper mines in Cornwall operating between 1819 and 1875. The fieldwork succeeded in locating a previously unknown shaft and possible openwork or flat rod trench. The shaft may have functioned as a footway or ventilation shaft. The dating for both is uncertain, but they certainly predate the 1880 OS map as neither is depicted on this. No other features of archaeological interest were seen over the area of the site and it was observed that the development had very little or no impact on any significant buried remains apart from those noted above. |
