Abstract: |
Watching brief after demolition of existing building in advance of building new cottages. St Ives was first recorded as 'Juxta Sanctam yam Porthia' in 1284. The place-name contains the Cornish saint's name Ia. This also occurs in the local names of Ayr and Dinas-Ia. St Ives is now the name covering the area of the town, church and harbour. It was once a chapelry of Lelant. Medieval in origin there was thus the potential for the preservation of buried archaeological material to survive in the project area. The proposed development is immediately adjacent to a large number of Listed Buildings, including the fire station, at the junction of St Andrew's Street and The Cuddy, which is recorded on the 1880 and 1907 OS maps (MCO54343). The 1880, 1909, and 1939 OS maps show there to have been two rows of small cottages separated by a narrow alley (Fig 3). Apart from a possible blocked and infilled well, and possibly part of the lower courses of walling from a 19th century cottage no other features of archaeological interest were recorded over the area of the site and it appears that this development had very little or no impact on any significant buried remains. No artefacts were recovered from the site. |
