Abstract: |
In September 2016, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Trevithick Manor Farm, Newquay, Cornwall. A total of 22 trenches was excavated within the site. The evaluation recorded a number of ditches, pits and postholes. These were mainly concentrated in the eastern part of the site. The majority of the features were undated, but one ditch contained six sherds of pottery dating from the Middle Iron Age to early Roman periods. A single human cremation burial was also recorded. In combination with the results of previous geophysical surveys, the evaluation results indicate that the concentration of features in the eastern part of the site represents some form of limited late prehistoric/early Roman settlement activity, including a possible sub-oval enclosure. The outlying ditches may represent the remnants of an associated field system. |
