Abstract: |
The report presented a record of the work carried out on Tintagel Island during the first half of 1995 following a series of watching briefs undertaken by the Cornwall Archaeological Unit at the request of English Heritage. A variety a different works took place, including both repair work and site improvements, affecting paths, drainage, presentation and public safety. Most of the works had little or no effect on archaeological remains. In a few cases there was some slight disturbance which gave an indication of possible archaeological layers, and in three areas artefacts were recovered, a total of 61 sherds of Romano-British (1 sherd), post-Roman and medieval date. Most significant were works at the well; a trench to improve drainage demonstrated that there was considerable archaeological potential in the area. Most of the sherds found in the project came from this site and included a high proportion of medieval sherds including fragments of jugs and a cistern, which implyed that the well was in use in the medieval period.
