Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of Persimmon Homes (SW) Ltd and Taylor Wimpey UK Ltd. The survey is part of a programme of archaeological works undertaken in advance of and during development on land at the above site. The work was undertaken as a condition (9) of outline planning permission, and has been required by Cornwall Council as advised by their Historic Environment Planning Advice Officer. The requirements for the survey are specified in a Written Scheme of Investigation produced by AC Archaeology Ltd (Valentin, 2015). The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Fifty-seven magnetic anomaly groups were identified as possibly representing archaeological deposits or features, the majority of which are fragmented linear and curvilinear groups that are most likely to relate to past field boundaries or other enclosures of unknown date. Three possible former tracks, speculatively field tracks associated with former field divisions, are recorded. Three anomaly groups may relate to archaeological pits although natural origins cannot be ruled out. |
