Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to produce a heritage assessment for The Chase, Harlyn Bay, St Merryn, Cornwall. This work was undertaken on behalf of a Private Client as part of a planning submission for a single plot residential development, replacing an existing garage. The site forms part of the Barton of Harlyn, the seat of the Tregewe family which became extinct in the male line around the reign of Henry VIII. It passed by marriage to the Michel family and in 1632 to Thomas Peter Esq. of Treator in Padstow (Lysons 1814). The site lies opposite an Iron Age cemetery and Bronze Age round house, a Scheduled Monument excavated in 1900 and 1976 which uncovered the remains of c.110 inhumation burials. A number of prehistoric burials have been discovered in the 20th and 21st centuries as a result of cliff falls from cliffs on the western side of Harlyn Beach. A number of other prehistoric features including settlements and barrows are recorded in the wider landscape. Excavations along the line of a sewage pipeline in the 1990s uncovered the remains of features dating to the Bronze Age close to Sandy Lane (Exeter Archaeology 1997). |
