Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was engaged by John Marshall of Kingsley Village (the Client) to undertake a targeted archaeological evaluation at Trevithick Manor, Newquay, Cornwall, in advance of a mixed residential and commercial development covering 35ha. This intervention was designed to investigate a number of geophysical anomalies identified in a series of geophysical surveys carried out at the site. Fieldwalking around and between the trenches recovered a reasonable amount of medieval and post-medieval pottery, as well as a very small amount of Prehistoric pottery. Thirteen evaluation trenches were opened, confirming the archaeological nature of the geophysical anomalies in all but one trench. Most of the features investigated formed part of the relict Prehistoric fieldsystem associated with the Iron Age settlement in Field 17, but two probable sunken-featured dwellings of Middle Bronze Age date were also excavated, as well as a pit containing a structured deposit of burnt stone, charcoal and Bronze Age pottery. |
