Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Devon and Cornwall Housing to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land at St Breaca Close, Breage, Cornwall (hereafter, 'the Site'), centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SW62050 28319. The construction ground works are to comprise the establishment of 24 domestic dwellings, associated access routes, service trenches and a foul water drainage area. This report outlines the results of the archaeological evaluation. Following recommendations by the Historic Environment Planning Advice Officer, Cornwall Council, an archaeological evaluation was carried out to assess the potential for surviving below ground remains in order to inform the proposals and consequently any decision with regards to the future treatment of the archaeological resource. The evaluation trenches were sited in strategic positions where the results of an archaeological desk-based assessment and geophysical survey suggested there was the potential for the survival of archaeological remains (Capstone Archaeology 2012). No archaeological features were recorded during the course of the evaluation with the exception of two hedgerow ditches, and the geophysical anomalies were proven with the exception of the location of one of the hedgerow ditches, to be the result of variations in the underlying natural geology. |
