Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation trenching was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of David Matthews of Burrington Estates (the Client) prior to the development of land off Eglos Road, Trispen, St Erme, Cornwall. The work was carried out by J. Bampton and P. Webb between 10th and 11th July 2017 in accordance with a WSI (Balmond 2017) drawn up in consultation with Charles Johns, Senior Development Officer, Historic Environment, Cornwall Council, and follows on from a desk-based assessment, walkover and geophysical surveys carried out in 2015 (Bampton 2015). The site occupies a single sub-rectangular field immediately south of the village of Trispen, off the A39 and c.5.4km north of Truro. Trispen is located on the top of a broad hill, of which the site lies on the south facing slope at a height of between 83m and 98m AOD. The soils of this area are the well-drained fine loamy soils of the Denbigh 2 Association (SSEW 1983). These overlie mudstone and sandstone of the Porthtowan Formation (BGS 2017). |
