Abstract: |
Land owned and managed by the National Trust was entered into Natural England's Higher Level Stewardship scheme in order to produce a comprehensive Management Plan which summarised and prioritised the management needs of the various structures and habitats. These sites were found to be subject to weathering from their exposed coastal locations, some also being significantly affected by visitor footfall despite conservation programmes undertaken in the 1970s and 1990s. On the basis of a brief produced by Historic Environment, Cornwall Council, Natural England awarded the tender for undertaking programme of conservation works to PDP Green Consulting Limited, with archaeological input from Historic Environment Projects (now Cornwall Archaeological Unit). Stage 1 of the project saw the production of an options appraisal with associated costings, and on this basis a shortlist of works was drawn up. The programme included scrub clearance, survey, repointing, limited rebuilding where buildings or features were structurally compromised, and the replacement of failing structural timbers. This work was successfully carried out in 2014. This report incorporates the text of the building and site surveys carried out in 2010, the specifications for the works on a structure by structure basis, before and after photographs illustrating the range of works undertaken, and copies of the record survey drawings as amended by the Cornwall Archaeological Unit building surveyor. |
