Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cornwall Archaeological Unit for Cornwall Council during capital dredging works in Penzance Harbour between October 2014 and March 2015 as a condition of the dredging licence issued by the Marine Management Organisation. The results of a desk-based assessment indicated that dredging in this zone was unlikely to have impacts on submerged peat deposits but could affect other archaeological remains, including those relating to the medieval harbour. A protocol for reporting finds of archaeological interest was adopted during the dredging closely following the British Marine Aggregate Producers Association and English Heritage Protocol (Wessex Archaeology 2005) with monitoring visits by CAU. No palaeoenvironmental deposits or other archaeological remains were identified during the dredging. The only finds were two anchors were recovered during the dredging, one of these was late 20th century in date and the second probably dates to the period 1860-1940. |
