Abstract:
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a desk-based assessment and walkover survey on land at Castle View Park, Mawnan Smith, Cornwall. The work was carried out to inform potential future development. The desk-based assessment indicates a variety of historic assets, in particular prehistoric assets, in the wider landscape: of particular significance and close proximity to the site is the Round, Carlidnack (SAM) and the assets that group with it. The development site, however, lies immediately to the south of a site (now housing estate) which was subject to geophysical survey and evaluation trenching which revealed no evidence of archaeology. The field names associated with the site are all of a functional or descriptive nature and are not suggestive of any monuments or features. The desk-based assessment does not indicate any likely indication of the likelihood for the presence of significant archaeological deposits. The results of the walkover survey appear to confirm that that there are no significant archaeological features or deposits within the proposed development area or in the rest of the field. It was also noted that the field is on a steep easterly slope which would typically be unsuitable for historic settlement. Furthermore, the walkover proved an absence of standing or visible archaeological remains or earthworks on the site, as well as highlighting the potential destruction through ploughing of any shallow or ephemeral features. No further archaeological works are recommended.
