Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Jenna Folkard of Cleanearth Energy Ltd. (The Client), prior to the proposed installation of a PV array at Glebe Farm, Summercourt, St Enoder, Cornwall. This work was undertaken by J. Bampton in accordance with a WSI drawn up in consultation with Phil Copleston of Cornwall Council Historic Environment Service. The Cornwall HER records a cropmark associated with an Iron Age, or Romano-British 'round' (MCO33739) on the site at Glebe Farm, which has the existing PV array overlaying it. On the proposed site a find spot (MCO56466) for a Bronze Age copper alloy axehead is recorded. Adjacent to- and west of the site a stone axe (MCO8501) was found and an extant earthwork (MCO1396) may represent a 'round', which may equate to a possible Medieval playing place (MCO114). Immediately across the road from the proposed development is a sub-circular ditch enclosure (MCO33740) visible as a cropmark. To the north-west and north are Medieval structures and potential locations of Medieval structures. To the south are records relating to Medieval field systems and on the eastern extent of the site early Medieval ridge and furrow has been evident in aerial photography (MCO49307). The site has previously been subject to an archaeological and heritage assessments and geophysical survey by Cornwall Archaeology Unit. Some geophysical anomalies identified as probable ditches, other anomalies traversing the site were recorded as agricultural process such as field-systems and drainage. |
