Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief along the road corridor for the new A391 byepass around Carluddon, St Austell, Cornwall. Apart from some prospecting pits recorded within Area 3 (centred at SX 02024 55877) which were undateable and an early (medieval?) stamps anvil stone recovered (unstratified) from a pipeline trench dug within Area 11 (SX 02212 55056) little of archaeological interest was found and the road corridor had little impact upon significant archaeological remains. Bronze Age Barrows, medieval fields, and a settlement are recorded in the area so this lack of surviving archeological evidence may largely be due to the china clay industry which has greatly affected the landscape with numerous major landscaping events, including the spreading of thick deposits of china clay waste over large areas. This activity has either removed or totally obscured much of the landscape that existed previously. Any below ground archaeology will also have been impacted upon by the china clay pipelines which cut across much of the road corridor. |
