Abstract:
Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) undertook an archaeological watching brief during August and September 2022, which involved the topsoil stripping of part 4 of the Phase 2 quarry extension for Lantoom Quarry. Lantoom Quarry is located between Liskeard (2.5 km to the east), Dobwalls (1.5 km to the west) and on the immediate southern side of the A38. Phase 2 lies on the eastern side of the existent quarry. A previous geophysical survey undertaken in 2011 had identified a number of potential archaeological features across of the whole Phase 2 field. Within the area 4 site boundary itself potential archaeological features included linear, curvilinear and pit-like anomalies. However, no archaeological features or artefacts were revealed during the fieldwork for the current phase of the quarry. The previous geophysical survey (Stratascan 2011) (Fig 3) had identified a number of discrete features including linear, curvilinear and pit-like anomalies in the immediate vicinity. The watching brief provided an opportunity to evaluate these anomalies and undertake an investigation of the archaeological potential of the central and western edge of the Phase 2 field, as well as establishing ground conditions within the monitored area. However, the results from the archaeological fieldwork revealed that the project area did not contain any archaeological features or deposits and did not lead to the recovery of any artefacts.
