Abstract: |
This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring and recording that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a residential development at Greystones, 12 Park Lane, Camborne, Cornwall. The archaeological monitoring and recording identified a total of five features. These included: one main drain; one offshoot/joining drain; one stone wall fragment; an area of ore processing waste deposits; and a possible building footprint. A modern septic tank and its associated pipes were also encountered and these cut through some of the archaeological features. No finds were recovered from the site, however 19th century and 20th century domestic pottery and plastic finds were noted within the remnants of the topsoil. Not much of the structural remains of the Rope Walk buildings that had formerly covered much of the site during the late 19th century and early 20th century survived as archaeological features. Small fragments of two possible buildings were identified, however both fragments extended beyond the limits of the site and these are likely to be associated with buildings that are depicted on the 1st Edition and 2nd Edition OS Maps. The most notable feature that was identified on the site was a large and well-built drain/culvert [1002]. Given the presence of a known leat to the immediate north of the site, and given that on the historic mapping reservoirs/ponds and sluices are marked to the east and to the west, it seems likely that this feature is associated with water management. The feed [1012] that entered the drain/culvert from the west presumably came directly from the reservoir. |
