Abstract:
The results of a heritage assessment and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Chiverton Cross, Blackwater, Cornwall. The site is located north-east of the village of Blackwater off the B3277 opposite the Chiverton Arms public house. Historic sources and the HER indicate that the site is located in a landscape of prehistoric settlement and funerary monuments, with later post-medieval mining. The surrounding landscape shows signs of medieval and post-medieval sub-division. The geophysical survey identified predominantly a series of discrete ovoid anomalies distributed across the site and likely to represent pits and tree-throws, as well as linear anomalies reflecting recent ploughing across the site. Ploughing evident in the survey results will have truncated any buried potential archaeological resource to some extent. Despite being located in area of archaeological potential, it would appear that on the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the site is low, containing only features which are likely to be associated with the land having previously been wooded as evident on historic (19th century) mapping.
