Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) was requested by Win Scutt (Assistant Properties Curator (West), English Heritage) to provide the costs for an archaeological appraisal of interpretation proposals for Tintagel Castle on 15 January 2015. CAU were commissioned to undertake this work on 21 January 2015. The majority of the current interpretative material sited at Tintagel Castle is acknowledged to be inadequate, and is proposed for replacement. A new interpretative scheme has been drawn up with the aim of engaging a wider audience than currently visits the site and providing them with information appropriate to the international importance of this site. The interpretation proposals considered in this appraisal are those set out in detail in a document titled Tintagel Castle: Scheme Design Proposals produced by bright3d and dated December 2014, as revised by Angharad Brading, Interpretation Manager (west), English Heritage. The new interpretation proposed for Tintagel includes a new exhibition in the visitor centre, waymarkers, information panels and a small number of sculptural features. All areas of the site, including the approach track from Tintagel Hamlet, are to be addressed in the new scheme. This appraisal considers the range of impacts which might arise from the implementation of this scheme, including not only physical impacts on underlying archaeology or historic fabric but also visual, setting and cumulative impacts on components of the site and on the monument as a whole. |
