Abstract:		 The weir at Couch's Mill straddles the River Lerryn to the south of the village on land that belongs to the Boconnoc Estate. It is located on the line of the parish boundary separating Boconnoc and St Winnow at NGR SX 14854 58979 (Figs 1 and 2). The weir is not shown on historic maps and is not designated as a listed building but it is likely to have been constructed as part of the historic management of this section of the River Lerryn since it lies at a junction between the river and a former mill race shown on the Tithe maps of c1840. It is located on a stretch of the river where the banks are lined with trees at a height of between 18m and 20m OD. The underlying bedrock is Lower Devonian mudstone siltstone and sandstone. When a decision was made to remove the weir, advice was given by Ann Reynolds (Senior Archaeologist Countryside Advice, Cornwall Council) to create an archaeological record of the structure before its demolition. Cornwall Archaeological Unit was then approached by Giles Rickard, Senior Land and Fisheries Officer at Westcountry Rivers Trust to undertake the archaeological work.
