Abstract: |
In 2014, following some preliminary site visits, Historic Environment Projects was commissioned to undertake the archaeological assessment of a newly-acquired property at Trease, Pendeen, West Penwith by Jon Brookes, National Trust Countryside Manager for West Cornwall. Trease is a typical small West Penwith farm holding, comprising a mixture of enclosed land which is likely to have been farmed continuously since late prehistory and scrubby unenclosed croft land within which mining has taken place over several centuries, the most recent iteration of this being an ambitious but unsuccessful operation from 1906 until about 1919. This last working utilised some extremely unusual equipment resulting in some very rare industrial remains surviving on the site, these including the foundations for Pinder Concentrators, Record Tables and a relatively well preserved Merton Furnace, the only example of this type of structure anywhere in Cornwall. The results of the historical research and field survey are summarised in this report, together with details of their findings, a statement of significance, summary condition assessments and outline recommendations for the future management of the property. |
