Abstract: |
Historic Environment Projects were approached by Paul Wong of Kier Living with a request for an assessment of a site proposed for a small housing development on land off Pollard's Close, Goonhavern; the assessment was to consist of a desk based assessment, walkover survey and geophysical survey, and was commissioned on 22July 2013. The desk based assessment showed that the survey area had been part of a large area of former downland in 1840, though this had been subdivided and improved to fields by 1988. The walkover survey revealed no features of archaeological interest. The magnetometer survey showed up a small range of features including what appears to be a pre-enclosure lane or track running across the site and a cluster of small dipolar features of uncertain origin. The site lies close to that of a cutting associated with a railway branch line constructed between 1903 and 1906, and it is possible that these features relate to activity associated with its excavation, or they may relate to previous undocumented land uses. A report detailing the findings of the assessment was prepared for the Client. |
