Abstract: |
Results of a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land off Liskey Hill, Perranporth, Cornwall as part of the pre-planning documentation for a proposed housing development. This work was undertaken in order to identify and characterise any archaeological features on the site that might be affected by the proposed development and inform any subsequent investigation or mitigation works prior to the development of the site. The field in question belonged in 1840 to the small hamlet of Nampara, at that time divided between the Manor of Lambriggan and that of Boscawen. Nampara is first recorded in 1293. The southern half of the site was used as a football pitch in the 20th century, and this may have led to the truncation of potential archaeological features in this area. The geophysical survey determined that very few features of probable archaeological origin were present within the area of the proposed development. A single possible pit is the only anomaly not accounted for in the cartographic record or by current farming practices. On this basis, it would appear unlikely that any significant archaeological remains or deposits survive across the site. |
