Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) was commissioned by Cormac Consultancy, CORMAC Solutions Ltd (Cornwall Council) to undertake an archaeological assessment of Trekenner Bridge, near Treburley, Cornwall. The bridge is a Grade II Listed Building (Designation ID 1291058) which crosses the River Inny. It is a 'weak bridge' with a limited capacity for carrying modern traffic so a strengthening programme is proposed by Cornwall Council. Trekenner Bridge is an important early post-medieval bridge. The base of the bridge abutments and its piers are probably 16th century in date but the majority of the superstructure was built in the mid-19th century, following flood damage caused in 1847. The parapets have several phases of later rebuilding dating to the 20th century. There are two phases of proposed works. The first is a geotechnical investigation, the results of which will inform the later strengthening works. This report highlights the need for Listed Building Consent to be granted before any strengthening works are undertaken and makes a number of management and mitigation recommendations. These include the removal of tree saplings from the parapets, the careful undertaking of the geotechnical investigation, for the strengthening works to be designed with the historic environment in mind and for future mitigation undertaken as an archaeological watching brief. |
