Abstract: |
As part of the Unlocking Our Coastal Heritage project delivered through the Rural Development Agency, the South West Coast Path and the National Trust, a number of archaeological sites were selected for conservation, enhanced management and interpretation. One such site consists of the remains of a 19th century dressing floor adjacent to the Kenidjack Stream in St. Just, part of the St. Just Area of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscapes World Heritage Site. The granite walling revetting the dressing floor adjacent to the stream had begun to collapse, which, if left unchecked, would significantly affect this site. A scheme of works is proposed to re-build the failing sections of walling to safeguard the site and enable continued access. Historic Environment Projects have been asked to provide a suitably detailed pre-works record of this part of the Wheal Call site, working to a brief supplied by the National Trust Regional Archaeologist. In addition, HE Projects were asked to record the wider context for the affected wall, and to undertake surveys of the arsenic calciner and stamps engine house. The survey used a combination of direct measurement, rectified photography, total station and high precision GPS survey to record the affected stretches of walling making up the spalling floor revetment wall, the adjacent stamps engine house, the calciner and other dressing floor structures, together with the line of the flat rod run from the Wheal Call Great Wheel to the pumping shaft and sections of leat passing through the site. |
