Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation trenching was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land off Old Mine Lane, St. Ann's Chapel, Calstock, Cornwall at the request of Ivan Tomlin of Planning for Results Ltd. (the Agent), as part of a pre-planning assessment. This work was undertaken by P. Webb on 2nd June 2016 in accordance with a project design (Boyd 2016) drawn up in consultation with Sean Taylor of Cornwall Council (SDOHE). Three 30m evaluation trenches c.1.60m wide were excavated. This work followed on - and avoided - extensive geotechnical investigations carried out in 2015 (JGP 2015). The site comprises a field c.1ha in extent on the northern edge of the historic settlement of St. Ann's Chapel, north of All Saints Park and immediately west of Old Mine Land. The field is located on the upper south-facing slopes of Hingston Down at an altitude of c.240m AOD. The soils of this area are the slowly-permeable seasonally-waterlogged fine loamy soils of the Sportsmans Association (SSEW 1983) overlying hornsfeld slates of the Tavy Formation (BGS 2016). The Down was unenclosed until the 1850s, and forms part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS). Hingston Down Mine lies just to the north of the site; this copper mine was active from 1850-80, and intermittently thereafter until the 1920s. The area in which the site is situated is classified as post-medieval enclosed land on the Cornwall and Scilly HLC (Cornwall Council 2016). Detailed study and survey work has previously been carried out in the area by CAU (CAU 2004; 2005; 2007) and SWARCH (2015). |
