Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. undertook a desk based assessment and archaeological monitoring and recording; and commissioned a geophysical survey on land at Penleaze, Marhamchurch, Launcells, Cornwall between December 2012 and January 2013. The geophysical survey revealed a number of strong anomalies that seemed correspond to modern drainage ditches and a known field boundary removed in recent history. It also revealed a number of weak non-descript anomalies. The desk based assessment that consisted primarily of a cartographic analysis and reference to the Historic Environment Record (HER), set the site in a context of a number of phases of post medieval enclosures, emphasising the relative continuity in the fields specific to the site. A previous early medieval field system and a possible double ditched Romano-British round in the adjacent eastern field were evident within the aerial photographic record on the HER. The archaeological monitoring and recording identified the stronger geophysical anomalies as modern drainage ditches, and a pre-1840s field boundary removed in the second half of the 20th century with no other features being identified and very few surface finds to indicate the truncation of any features. |
