Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) was commissioned by Louisa Meek of CSA Architects, on behalf of the owner of the building, to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Cubert Vicarage, a Grade II Listed Building (LB ref. 1141575). Cubert village is located at SW 78645 57811, to the south of Newquay and east of Penhale Point, close to Penhale Sand. The vicarage is positioned in the eastern central part of the village (Fig 1) forming part of the original village core, and is positioned close to the church. Previous archaeological assessment and targeted investigative work (Parkes 2015), has revealed that the vicarage is mid 17th century or earlier in origin and that there was the potential for archaeological remains to be uncovered during the site's development. The site works involved the reduction of the western outhouse floor level by 0.3m (Fig 2) and the excavation of an approximate 0.5m wide by 0.5m deep drain. The excavation work was carried out by hand, by two ground works men. All deposits removed and/or exposed were monitored and recorded by the site archaeologist. Potential dates have been applied according to associated finds, and/or documented and mapped information (Parkes 2015). Previously identified elements (Parkes 2015) have been confirmed and added to, including the fuller identification of a possible pillar base dating to an open-sided phase of the building in the southern wall. A previously unknown bone midden deposit, potentially pre-dating any structures in this immediate part of the site has been identified. It has the potential to date back to the 1600s - identified as the earliest documented evidence for structural activity at the site (Parkes 2015, 13). |
