Abstract: |
This report describes work undertaken between 2008 and 2010 through Historic Environment, Cornwall Council's Conserving Cornwall's Past project. The project, funded principally by English Heritage, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Cornwall Heritage Trust and Cornwall Council, centred around conservation work at a number of Scheduled Monuments at Risk, but involving also educational work, interpretation, and especially community involvement. Involving local communities in the conservation of their heritage was one of the key aspects of the project, the most successful element of this being the establishment on the Lizard of a group of volunteers dedicated to managing and monitoring monuments there. The monuments involved in the project included stone crosses, stone circles, a hillfort, and a badly eroded barrow. In fact an even larger total of monuments benefitted in some way, when the number of sites where scrub clearing was carried out by volunteers is considered and the fifty pieces of medieval stone sculpture microchipped. A valuable aspect of the project was in facilitating future management through the promotion of sites for Higher Level Stewardship agreements, and through the production of a Conservation Management Statement (Tregargus Valley) an archaeological assessment (Falmouth Jewish and Congregationalist cemeteries), evaluation work ( St Piran's Oratory) and a project proposal (Carwynnen quoit). |
