Abstract: |
Archaeological strip, map and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Jane Hamlyn of Atelier 3 (the Agent) on behalf of Mike Jeffs of Gilbert and Goode (the Client) prior to groundworks associated with the residential development of land off St. Mewan Lane, Trewoon, St Mewan, Cornwall. The work was carried out by P. Webb between 21st and 24th June 2017 in accordance with a WSI (Boyd 2016) drawn up in consultation with Charles Johns, Senior Development Officer, Historic Environment, Cornwall Council, and follows on from a desk-based assessment and walkover survey carried out in 2015 (Bampton and Hosegood 2015). The site is located to the east of St. Mewan Lane on the southern outskirts of the village of Trewoon, itself to the west of St. Austell. The site comprises a single rectangular field on the western side of a gently-sloping hillside at a height of between 85m and 95m AOD. The soils of this area are the well-drained fine loamy soils over slate of the Denbigh 2 Association (SSEW 1983), overlying the Hornsfeld slate and sandstone of the Meadfoot Group (BGS 2017). The site lies in an area of Medieval Farmland, part of the Anciently Enclosed Land (AEL) designation. No archaeological work has been undertaken on the site itself, though monitoring to the north at Carne Hill (Kirkham 2011), and geophysical survey and evaluation trenching to the south at Coyte Farm (Thacker 2012) have identified historic field systems and Iron Age and Romano-British settlement. |
