Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and historic visual impact assessment (HVIA) carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land at Llawnroc, Harrowbarrow, Calstock, Cornwall, as part of the pre-planning submission for a proposed residential development. The proposed development would be located within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, and more specifically on land that formed part of the Prince of Wales Mine; the northern half of this mine designated as a Scheduled Monument. Much of the surrounding landscape retains elements of its 19th and 20th century industrial heritage, with some traces of the earlier agricultural landscape and associated 17th-19th century farmhouses. While the development site is located within the Prince of Wales Mine site, this part of the mine has already been subject to 20th century industrial and residential development. Given the industrial use and re-use of the site its archaeological potential is deemed to be low to medium; however mine-related features or mineralogical deposits may survive. There are eleven designated heritage assets within close proximity of the proposed development. Most of the highvalue assets relate to the industrial mining heritage of the area, in particular the structures of the Prince of Wales Mine and the World Heritage Site. Of the subset that was selected for detailed assessment, the impact on both heritage assets was judged to be negligible to negative/minor, and that based largely on proximity. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as negligible to negative/ minor. The impact of the development on the buried archaeological resource, assessed as being of low to medium potential, would be permanent/irreversible. |
