Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit, formerly Historic Environment Projects, were requested to carry out a geophysical survey and evaluation trenching at Jorys Meadow, St Tudy. This was in advance of a proposed development of an affordable housing scheme covering an area of approximately 1.9 HA at this location. As a result of the geophysical survey carried out by GSB prospection in 2008, Phil Copleston (Senior Development Officer (Historic Environment), Cornwall Council) produced a brief for archaeological recording (9/4/13), which stipulated the requirements for a further geophysical survey to be carried out at the western end of the project area, (which had not been previously surveyed), and for the trenching of nominated geophysical anomalies to evaluate their potential. In July 2014, Stratascan carried out the additional geophysical survey of the western edge of the site, which indicated the extension of linear ferrous-rich features. In August 2014, Cornwall Archaeological Unit with the assistance of Gilbert and Goode Ltd, St Austell, carried out a targeted evaluation of five trenches with an additional trench added, to ascertain relationship between two of the enclosures, later in the evaluation. Three ditches of probable prehistoric date were confirmed in accordance with the geophysical survey and pottery was recovered from sealed contexts from two of the ditches. |
