Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment and walkover survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Tregoniggie, Bickland Water Road, Falmouth, Cornwall, prior to a potential retail and office development. The desk-based assessment shows the site as undeveloped farmland and the HLC describes it as post-medieval enclosed land. The HER does refer to the cropmark of a possible medieval field boundary (Mon.ID: 55712). The LiDAR survey data shows an earthwork that probably equates to this cropmark and a bank that is seemingly respected at its eastern end by the limit of the industrial development to the south. The walkover survey identified the same undated features (a possible ditch and a ridge/bank) as the LiDAR image, although these were subtle and to some extent obscured by foliage. Any proposed development on the site is likely to disturb these two former agricultural boundary features, but the potential for further archaeological features or deposits of any significance appears low. |
