Abstract: |
Results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Union Corner, Falmouth, Cornwall, prior to a potential residential development. The desk-based assessment showed that some post-medieval adaptation to the field system on the site has taken place and that the site was bounded on its north side by a medieval deerpark. The walkover survey supports the limit of the deerpark being the north boundary but identified no visible earthworks on the site. The geophysical survey in contrast identified a number of potential archaeological features associated with post-medieval field systems and perhaps more than one phase of medieval or prehistoric field systems that are likely associated with a sub-rectangular double ditched enclosure (Iron-Age/Romano-British 'round'), identified in a geophysical survey some c.60m to the north-east of the proposal site. Plough scars were visible across the site in the survey data. Any proposed development in the playing fields is likely to disturb the identified archaeological deposits or remains, but these appear to primarily relate to removed field boundaries, and are of low to medium significance. |
