Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit, Cornwall Council was commissioned by Cormac Consultancy in June 2015 to undertake a desk-based archaeological scoping assessment in advance of proposed improvements and upgrading of the A30/A38 road junction at Callywith, located on the north-eastern periphery of Bodmin. Two options were proposed for the same area. Land to the north and west (including the north-western part) of the study area is included within the Camel and Allen Valley Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV), and to the immediate east is the Mid Fowey AGLV. Also to the east (including the north-eastern part) of the study area is the Bodmin Moor Area of Great Scientific Value (AGSV). There are no designated Scheduled battlefields or gardens within the study area. There is one Scheduled Monument and Listed Building (Callywith stone cross) within the area and a further Listed and Scheduled stone cross just beyond the southern edge. There are a number of sites recorded in the HER which fall around and within the study area, as well as others that have been identified by this report from historic mapping. In addition a parish boundary cuts across the area, which will be affected by Hedgerow Regulations and is broadly associated with the Scheduled/Listed stone cross and other fragments, as well as an enigmatic earthwork known as the 'Great Ditch' since at least the sixteenth century. The assessment consisted of a rapid desk-based assessment using historic mapping and information layers on GIS, reference to published sources and the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Historic Environment Record (HER). There was not a field visit. This report recommends that a geophysical survey of suitable areas within the project area should be undertaken, followed by an appropriate level of archaeological mitigation, for example a targeted excavation trench or a watching brief. |
