Abstract: |
A watching brief undertaken by CAU during groundworks to install a biomass heating system within the medieval house complex of Cotehele House on behalf of the National Trust (centred at SX 42239 68609). This work involved the excavation of several sections of trench, totalling roughly 300m in length, connecting the Dairy Cottages, the Main House and the Great Barn to the heating system. The trenches were on average 0.6m wide, and dug to a depth of 1m. Apart from encountering many modern services, the position, and routes of which were mostly unknown to the National Trust and thus were unsuspected, no archaeological features were identified; it is thus evident that this work had no discernible impact on any buried archaeological remains. It suggests that the areas traversed by these trenches had not been the sites of any unrecorded structures associated with the development of Cotehele and that there has been a fairly considerable amount of unrecorded service trenching within these areas. |
