Abstract: |
Two phases of archaeological excavation in advance of development at Tremough University Campus, Penryn, Cornwall revealed areas of activity dating from the Middle Bronze Age to Late Iron Age. On the site of the AIR building a small circular post-built structure was revealed thought to represent occupation on the site dating to the second half of the second millennium BC. The site of the new car park (Car Park 4) revealed a Middle Bronze Age house associated within which was a collection of stone metal-casting moulds. Nearby was a curvilinear enclosure ditch surrounding numerous pits and postholes containing large quantities of burnt stone, worked stone tools and pottery possibly dating to the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age. The tip of a clay sword mould was also recovered from this enclosure. An additional Middle Bronze Age roundhouse was identified but has been buried in order to preserve it. |
