Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit, County Council was commissioned by Cian Spowart (Poynton Bradbury Wynter Cole Architects Ltd) in January 2016 to undertake an archaeological assessment of the location of a former caravan site that is to be developed as the new Bodmin campus for Truro/Penwith College. The 4.3 hectare site is located to the northeast of the settlement of Bodmin, and is an area of ground classified by the HLC as 'Recreational' surrounded by 'Post-medieval Enclosed Land'. Land to the west of the study area is included within Bodmin's Historic Settlement area. There are no other designations covering the area or any designated sites within it (Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings). There are a few sites recorded within the HER which lie outside the study area. However, 14 removed or altered boundaries and a former building, which are of local significance, were identified within the study area during the project. The assessment consisted of a rapid desk-based assessment using historic mapping and information layers on GIS, and reference to published sources and the HER. There was not a field visit. This report recommended that a geophysical survey should be undertaken over part of the site, followed by an appropriate level of archaeological mitigation, for example an archaeological watching brief and/or excavation depending on the results of the survey. |
