Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit were commissioned by Robin Davies of Forestay Ltd to carry out an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the conversion of former pilchard cellars known as the Longstore, adjacent to the harbour in Charlestown. The site is located at NGR SX 0382 5162. The watching brief along with a historic building record, undertaken by Eric Berry (Berry 2015), were commissioned to fulfil Condition 9 on planning application (PA15/02224) which stipulated that a programme of archaeological work in accordance with a written scheme of investigation was secured and implemented prior to the development taking place. The site lies within the Conservation Area of Charlestown on the west side of the Grade II* listed harbour and within the curtilage of the 'Boatshed' (now the Wreckers), a Grade II listed building, which lies immediately to the east. It contains two adjoining stone rubble-built sheds which once formed the north-west range of a pilchard cellar established by the late 18th century. The development covers an area of approximately 0.12 hectares and slopes gently down towards the east. The development area is bounded by Barkhouse Lane and another historic industrial building to the north, a leat and sluice to the north-west, a steep slope the south-west, Square Sail yard and associated buildings to the south-east and Charlestown Road to the north-east. |
