Abstract: |
The results of a heritage assessment and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land north-east of Higher Well Farm, Hendra Croft, St Newlyn East, Cornwall. The site is located south-west of St Newlyn East between the A3075 and Henver Lane. This work was undertaken in support of a planning application. The site is located south-west of St Newlyn East on relatively flat land towards the summit of a broad ridge. The surrounding landscape contains numerous Prehistoric funerary monuments and enclosed settlements, medieval and post-medieval farming settlements, and post-medieval industrial mining areas. Until the latter part of the 19th century the proposed site formed part of Regenna Common, an area of common grazing. Assessment of historic, cartographic and photographic sources indicate the site contains several relict field boundaries and a backfilled quarry. The geophysical survey undertaken located these historic features as well as a possible holloway, several large pits and a scatter of smaller pits or tree throws. On that basis the archaeological potential of the site is adjudged to be moderate, and some form of limited investigation of these features would be appropriate. |
