Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by A.E.Rodda and Son Limited to carry out an archaeological desk-based assessment of land at Rodda's Creamery, Scorrier, Redruth, Cornwall. The proposed development is to comprise a redevelopment within the factory area, including new silos, relocation of staff parking and an anaerobic digestion plant with associated reed beds and infiltration basins. The Site is located in the vicinity of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site and the course of Portreath Plateway, the first Cornish mineral tramway, crosses the Site at north-south alignment. This course will not be altered or obscured by the proposed development and the possible belowground remains associated with the Plateway will not be impacted upon. The single Listed Building lying within the Site is a Grade II Chimney Stack, related to the Great North Downs mine, which is located in the western part of the Site, in the vicinity of disused mining shafts. The archaeological interest within the Site is defined by known and potential features relating to the mining industry. The excavation of ponds within the Site will have a direct impact on potential buried remains. This impact is reduced by the presence of well documented data about the mine's history and development. However, there is a potential for previously unrecorded mining features from earlier periods and for the presence of structural remains related to an engine house. |
