Abstract:		 As part of the Unlocking Our Coastal Heritage project delivered through the Rural Development Agency, the South West Coast Path and the National Trust, a number of archaeological sites were selected for conservation, enhanced management and interpretation. One such site consists of the remains of a mid-19th century water-powered stamping mill and associated dressing floors adjacent to the Porthmeor Stream in Zennor, the easternmost industrial site in the St. Just Area of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscapes World Heritage Site. Sections of the granite revetment work enclosing the spalling floor adjacent to the stream are in danger of collapse, which would not only degrade this exceptionally well-preserved and accessible site, but also risk damaging an adjacent ancient clapper bridge carrying the Zennor Church Path across the stream. A scheme of works is proposed to dismantle and re-build the failing sections of walling to safeguard the site and enable continued access to it. Historic Environment Projects have been asked to provide a suitably detailed pre-works record of this part of the Porthmeor Stamps site, working to a brief supplied by the National Trust Regional Archaeologist. The survey used a combination of direct measurement coupled with photography to record the affected stretches of walling making up the spalling floor revetment wall and the adjacent wheelpit.
