Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was asked to undertake a desk-based assessment and walkover survey on land on Daglands Road, Fowey, Cornwall. The proposed site lies in a plot which is now used as car park between two buildings. The site lies within the conservation area of Fowey and there are a number of historic buildings and structures in the immediate vicinity. The proposed development site is located on the steep hillside overlooking the harbour, and has been terraced into the natural bedrock. There is evidence of prehistoric activity in the vicinity, though it was during the medieval period that Fowey came to prominence with significant development of the harbour and associated improvements to the town. Daglands Road itself has little evidence for any activity until the post-medieval period, with the site possibly forming part of a plot of land at the rear of a building evident on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1888. By the time of the 1908 second edition there is evidence for a structure being present on the site, which has subsequently been demolished in the intervening period prior to the walkover survey. Whether the structural remains on the site represent this, or a later demolished building, however, is unclear. |
