Abstract: |
The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land south of Trehannick Close, St. Teath, Cornwall. The site is located on the southern edge of 20th century expansion of the current settlement, away from the historic core of the village. The site is located in a landscape based upon medieval field patterns, previous desk-based assessment suggesting that the site has formed a single large agricultural field since at least the start of the 19th century. HER data for the local area shows very few assets, the name of the farm Carkeen may be suggestive of a round, but no physical evidence survives. A few assets are located in the village including the church and a medieval wheelheaded cross, but none of these have any bearing on the proposed development. The geophysical survey (in association with additional survey work carried out in 2017) identified eleven groups of probable or possible anomalies that relate to archaeological activity. The majority of the anomalies appear to relate to historic and recent agricultural activity, although there are a small number of features of unknown archaeological origin or date which suggest former field boundaries and possible pits. |
