Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording on land at Seaways Farms, Porthloo, St. Mary's, Isles of Scilly (NGR SV 9108 1125) was undertaken by AC archaeology during May and June 2017. The work comprised the monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of a new agricultural building. A total of 18 archaeological features comprising small pits and a possible posthole were exposed during the monitoring. Finds were recovered from five the pits which provided a broad date range extending from between the Mesolithic and Late Iron Age or Romano-British periods. These consisted of worked lithics, including a flake fragment of Portland chert; an unusual find from the Isles of Scilly. Other finds comprised Bronze Age and Late Iron Age or Romano-British pottery sherds. |
