Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey at the above site. It has been prepared for AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of The Eden Project in advance of a proposed commercial development. An historic environment assessment was completed by AC Archaeology Ltd in September 2014 (Meaton, 2014) in which the three plots of land comprising the site were designated Plots A, B and C. Plots A and B (Figure 2) are the subject of this survey. The magnetic responses across the survey area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Five magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits or features. One group is very likely to represent filled-in former mine shafts and a china clay pit recorded on historical Ordnance Survey maps. An adjacent anomaly group may denote the position of the Charlestone Leat which is thought to pass through the survey area. One group may represent ground disturbance or buried features, possibly associated with the former extraction activities within the survey area. The other two groups may represent archaeological deposits or relatively recent disturbance. |
