Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Montagu Town Planning on behalf of Mr and Mrs Morrow to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey of land at Treveale Farm, Ladock, Cornwall (centred on NGR SW 87410 52138). The aim of the work was to establish the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site and inform a planning application for the construction of a milking parlour, to be submitted to Cornwall Council. The Site is located in Cornwall approximately 8km to the north-east of Truro and around 2km to the north-west of the village of Ladock. Treveale Farm lies around 250m to the south of the Site (Figure 1). The Site comprises a sub-rectangular area of land that is currently under pasture. It is bounded to the east by an unnamed road, to the west and south by agricultural boundaries with the northern survey extent defined by the limit of the proposed development. The archaeological features detected include probable Roman/Iron Age settlement features including several roundhouses and associated enclosure ditches. In addition to these settlement features are a number of enigmatic sub-circular clusters of increased magnetic response that are of possible archaeological interest. These features may be associated with relatively recent woodland management such as charcoal burning or may be related to the clearance of this woodland during the latter half of the twentieth century. The central area of the Site appears slightly disturbed with more fragmentary features and a highly magnetic sub-circular feature; it is possible this feature relates to a Second World War bomb crater noted in this field. The geophysical survey was undertaken between 1st December and 3rd December 2014. |
