Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned by Deborah McCann (the agent) on behalf of Jonathon Stirling (the client) to undertake a geophysical survey on land at Newton House, Blisland, Bodmin, Cornwall. The work was carried out as part of a submitted application for a residential housing development. The site is located on gently sloping land in the centre of the village of Blisland, to the east of the 17th century manor house, and to the north-east of the Norman church. The survey area comprised a single roughly rectangular field sub-divided into three smaller paddocks, currently under pasture. The geophysical survey identified six groups of anomalies, primarily linear features of probable archaeological origin and of a likely post-medieval date. All are likely to relate to former agricultural use of the land, including a number of field-drains, some of which may be stone-lined or ceramic. A possible former hedgebank was also identified, of possible earlier origin as it is not recorded on the historic mapping. Any proposed development is likely to disturb buried archaeological deposits or remains, however, the probable features identified in this survey are of low significance and the site has a low potential for significant archaeological deposits or remains. |
