Abstract: |
HE Projects was commissioned by Ireland Brothers Builders and Haulage Contractors to undertake an archaeological assessment of an area of land at Herland Farm to the west of the village of Gwinear and east of Hayle, Cornwall. The development area, (centred at NGR SW 59236 36908), although lying outside the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, has been recorded on the Cornwall and Scilly Historic Environment Record (HER) as being part of the former Herland Mine in an area of very ancient mining. Twenty sites have been identified by this assessment although some of these lie outside the study area. The extant site layout includes the partial remains of spoil heaps derived from mining activity which began at least as early as the beginning of the 18th century, although most of these have now been levelled. The southern boundary marks the enclosures first recorded on the Tithe Map of circa 1840, whilst the north-eastern edge of the site contains the significant remains of a WWII anti-aircraft battery and personnel base. Two shafts (one of which is open) and their associated waste dumps are visible at surface within the development area. |
