Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit, County Council was commissioned by Mr M. Winchester on behalf of Mr G Chappell for Pencalenick School in January 2015 to undertake an archaeological assessment of a proposed fence trench line located to the west of the main school building. The site lies within an area identified in the HER as being a medieval settlement, close to the former medieval Pencalenick House and the current very large, Grade II Listed Pencalenick House. The current house was completed in 1881, and was used during WWII for a number of purposes including army HQ, training ground, field hospital and POW camp. In 1948 it was sold to the County Council and since then has been used as a school. It lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and an Area of Great Scientific Value and is situated within land characterised as part of an Ornamental Landscape (first established in the 1780s), which overlies an area of former Anciently Enclosed Land. The assessment consisted of a rapid desk-based assessment using historic mapping and information layers on GIS, published sources and the HER. There was not a field visit. This report recommends that a watching brief should be carried out during the excavation of trenches in advance of the erection of a security fence line, followed by the production of a report recording any archaeology revealed by the works. |
