Abstract: |
Between 3rd and 7th September 2012 Oxford Archaeology carried out an Archaeological Evaluation at Coyte Farm, St.Mewan, St.Austell, Cornwall. The evaluation was designed to further characterise a series of anomalies recorded during a geophysical survey of the site. The most significant feature was a double-ditched enclosure, known as a 'round'. A small quantity of pottery recovered from one of the ditches and from a probable roundhouse gully within the enclosure supports the interpretation that it represents a small late prehistoric or Roman-period settlement. Many of the other linear anomalies can be associated with boundaries marked on the 1838 St.Mewan or 1842 St.Austell Tithe Maps. However, the absence of dating evidence recovered from the evaluation means that it remains possible that some of the boundaries reflect medieval or even prehistoric alignments, although a number of double-ditched boundaries are perhaps most likely to be of post-medieval date on morphological grounds |
