Abstract: |
This work was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients and has been prepared in support of a forthcoming planning application for a wind turbine with access track. The magnetic contrast across the survey area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Twenty-two magnetic anomaly groups pertaining to potential archaeology were recorded. None of the anomaly groups recorded related to features mapped by the Ordnance Survey on historical or modern maps. Two of the groups are likely to represent the footings of Cornish bank field boundaries removed before 1855. One group may represent a line of three pits. Four of the groups are likely to relate to disturbance resulting from ploughing and three of these may reflect ridge-and-furrow cultivation. The remaining magnetic anomaly groups recorded during the survey are most likely to relate to various phases of former fields and other enclosures not recorded on historical Ordnance Survey maps. |
