Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out over 5ha at Treswarrow Farm near St Endellion in Cornwall, as part of an HLS agreement between Natural England and the landowners. A previous geophysical survey, carried out by Archaeological Surveys in 2011 on land immediately to the south, located a number of former field boundaries, enclosures and ring ditches indicative of prehistoric settlement. The current survey revealed a continuation of several of the boundary ditches to the north forming a rectilinear enclosure with dimensions of 110m by 80m. One of the boundary ditches extends for at least 270m and there is some evidence for fossilisation within the current field boundary layout. Numerous other positive linear, rectilinear, curvilinear and discrete anomalies were located throughout the survey areas; however, due to their weak or fragmented nature and lack of coherent morphology they cannot be confidently interpreted. The underlying Polzeath Slate is likely to have formed many geophysical anomalies, which appear ditch-like and pit-like in form. |
