Abstract:
Results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Bickland Water Road, Falmouth Cornwall, as part of the pre-planning requirements for a residential development. The desk-based assessment identified the site as within glebe lands associated with the church of St. Budock in a landscape of dispersed medieval settlements and occasional potential Iron Age/Romano-British enclosures (rounds). The walk-over survey did not identify any potential earthworks; however, the site of a demolished Second World War pillbox, located at the southern tip of the site was discernible. The geophysical survey identified 54 anomalies across 17 Anomaly Groups. Twelve of these are of probable archaeological origin and the others of possible archaeological-, modern- or natural origin. These include a probable medieval to post-medieval demolished structure located to the east of Menehay House and the remains of a probable prehistoric structure approximately half way between Menehay House and Menehay Farm. To accompany the extant post-medieval field system across the site the geophysical survey identified three other probable phases of field system; a small amount of a probably prehistoric fieldsystem, a large amount of a probably later prehistoric-medieval field system, and some probably post-medieval boundaries associated with the extant fieldscape. Debris associated with demolished Second World War pillboxes may also occur on the site.
