Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned by Chris Smirthwaite (the Client) to undertake a desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and impact statement on land at Moor Cottage, Cardinham, Cornwall. The work was carried out to inform potential future development. The desk-based assessment indicates a variety of historic assets and possible prehistoric assets in the wider landscape: of particular interest close to the site is the Iron Age hill fort of Bury Castle, Medieval field-systems including ridge and furrow and post-medieval quarries. The development site, however, appears to have been part of common rough-moorland into the last century, although located within a former live-stock funnel leading to the moor. The desk-based assessment does not indicate the likely presence of any significant archaeological deposits in or close to the site. The results of the geophysical survey would also suggest that there are no significant archaeological features or deposits within the proposed development area. It indicated modern and probable geological anomalies. Furthermore, a walkover of the site proved no standing archaeological remains were present on the site and that thin soils and stony ground were visible in places. Despite the moorland fringe location, the setting of the proposed development site would almost completely mitigate any impacts on the wider historic landscape or any individual historic assets, due to the local screening of the site by the topography and vegetation and the low and sympathetic nature of the proposed build. Any impact of the site would be negligible if not neutral. No further archaeological works are recommended.
