Abstract: |
AC Ltd was commissioned by Charles Hoblyn to undertake an archaeological assessment of the Fir Hill Estate (NGR SW 87296 61911) in advance of a proposed selective restoration and reuse programme and in line with a brief prepared by Daniel Ratcliffe (2012). The assessment identified extensive Post Medieval archaeology on the estate which, together with the dense woodland, obscured any physical traces of earlier activity. The Post Medieval archaeology is principally associated with the Hoblyn family and includes: Ochre mining and processing The Eddyvean Canal (Late 18th Century) Parts of a landscape associated with the Nanswhyden Estate The 19th and early 20th Century Fir Hill Estate buildings and associated landscape Recommendations have been made to positively influence the design of Phase 1 - the farmhouse and glamping facilities - and more general recommendations are included to guide projected future developments on the estate. |
