Abstract: |
Four areas of excavation were recorded including two areas of levelling and foundation trenches, a cut into the hillslope and digging of a service trench. A number of layers of made ground were recorded. Thirty-seven artefacts were recovered from six contexts. This included post-Roman imported wares: two body sherds of Bv amphora, seven sherds of Bi amphora, one body sherd of Bii amphora, and one large sherd of Bv amphora. There were also three sherds of post-medieval Glazed Red Earthenware, a few modern finds and 17 metal objects including 3 items of Copper alloy, the rest a variety of objects. The site of the visitor facilities seems to have been created in the 19th century for the dressing and storage of slate before its shipment from Tintagel Haven. The area was built up with material cut back from the hillslope and lain down to create a platform for the building and dressing area, and to ensure an even gradient for the trackway to the Haven. Amongst the made layers were a number of re-deposited sherds of amphorae dated to the 5th and 6th centuries AD. [Au(abr)] |
