Abstract: |
In January 2018 Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU), Cornwall Council was commissioned by Nick Shearer, Project Manager with 8point8 Support Ltd to undertake archaeological recording during groundworks associated with investigations of some possible blocked underground telecoms ducting carrying cables from aerials on the chimney to the Emergency Services Building (Herring and Thomas 1990) on Kit Hill, Callington (SX 37480 71345). The ducting runs from the chimney to the Emergency Services Building lie near the centre of Kit Hill (centred at SX 37479 71345) and affect three monuments recorded in the Historic Environment Record (HER). A probable Bronze Age barrow (MCO2974) Part of the north west bastion of the pentagonal folly (MCO24424) constructed in the form of an earthwork castle at the end of the 18th century by Sir John Call. A post-Medieval wind engine, a windmill (MCO24406) associated with Kit Hill Great Consuls Mine. An ornate chimney (MCO24408) that was constructed in 1858 to service flues associated with the boiler house attached to an engine house (MCO24407) located at SX 37483 71369 (Site 129 in Herring and Thomas 1990) and a calciner (MCO24423) located at SX37476 71423 (Site 147) again part of the infrastructure of Kit Hill Great Consuls Mine. This project had no archaeological impact as it proved possible to complete all the work required without any trenching occurring. |
