Abstract: |
Two small trenches were excavated to evaluate the site of a proposed extension to the English Heritage shop at Tintagel Castle. The site lay in the valley bottom, directly below the Lower Ward of the castle and just 60m inland from Tintagel Haven. Fragments of roof slate reflecting use of the site by the slate industry in the 19th and perhaps 18th centuries, probably for storage and trimming of roof slated before shipment, were recovered. A few earlier finds incorporated in the modern layers were likely to have been derived from the Lower Ward; these included a sherd of imported post-Roman amphora (5th or 6th century AD) and two slates marked with graffiti, probably of medieval date.
