Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment, which revealed archaeological potential and a trial-trench evaluation, was undertaken as part of a planning condition. Despite being located to the north of the historic core of St Ives, several discoveries of prehistoric and Roman date had been made in the general vicinity. Cartographic and historical sources showed that the land lay in an area of open common, known as the Green, probably of 13th century or earlier date. This later became a farm, with a barn known as Oliver Cromwell's barn constructed in the later 16th century. Considerable development had occurred within the last 30 years. Three ditches were identified, containing medieval pottery. A small undated pit was recorded in trench 3. During the medieval period the site was within the area of a large common green, and contemporary features with domestic pottery may have been regarded as unexpected. The occurrence of domestic finds suggested that the evidence might be the result of 'illegal' activity e.g. squatting. [Au(abr)] |
