Abstract:		 Tintagel Castle, Cornwall is an internationally significant Scheduled Ancient Monument owned by the Duchy of Cornwall and under the guardianship and management of English Heritage. The only access to the Island is via paths from the Mainland Lower Ward and from the valley base leading to a bridge across an isthmus followed by steep, rock-cut steps up the Island cliff face. This arrangement deters some visitors, whilst the arduous climb detracts from many visitors' experience of the site; those with mobility issues are currently wholly unable to access Tintagel. Cornwall Archaeological Unit, Cornwall Council, were requested to undertake a desk-based archaeological assessment of the likely archaeological impacts which would result from the construction of new access arrangements. A review was undertaken of all documented previous archaeological investigations at Tintagel Castle; other archive evidence was also considered. The likelihood of impacts on buried archaeology resulting from the initial investigative phases of the project, during bridge construction works and once it has been brought into use was considered. In the first case, the potential for impacts on sub-surface archaeological deposits was considered to be likely, but limited in extent; impacts during the construction phase were considered to be likely to be unavoidable and greater in extent, but capable of mitigation. Post-construction impacts resulting from considerably increased visitor foot traffic were judged to constitute a significant issue which should be considered as part of the overall project design.
