Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in January and February 2016 on land at Hendra Road, Stithians, Cornwall. Seven trenches were excavated at the site. The evaluation recorded ditches corresponding to a putative double-ditched enclosure detected by a previous geophysical survey of the site. The chronology and interrelationships of these ditches are unclear, however, as the outer ditch contained pottery dating to the Middle Bronze Age, while the inner ditch contained medieval pottery. The evaluation also recorded five undated pits, three of which were possibly associated with the putative enclosure and two of which may have been post-medieval quarrying pits. Three undated ditches were also recorded, possibly representing former field boundaries and a hollow way. |
