Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned by Savills (UK) Ltd on behalf of the Enys Estate to undertake a watching brief during groundworks associated with the conversion of the historic farm buildings. The farm buildings are Grade II Listed (NHLE ID 1142672) and are located at the heart of the Enys estate, near Penryn, Cornwall (SW 79127 36420). Listed Building consent required a Level 3 historic building record as defined by Historic England prior to the commencement of work on the buildings (PA16/01655). The report explaining the results of the historic building recording has been completed separately from this report (Thomas and Dudley 2017). This report outlines the results of the archaeological watching brief (PA16/01654). The watching brief covered four main stages of recording: 1 The pre-clearance of Second World War building platforms in the farmyard and rickyard (April 2016). 2 The digging of the footings for the new garage block in rickyard (August 2016). 3 The reduction in floor levels in the horse-engine house and rooms in Block B (North-east range) (December 2016 and January 2017). 4 The results of a test pit at the rear wall of the main part of Block D (January 2017). No archaeological finds or features were revealed from the pre-farm complex phase (pre-19th century), however, the watching brief in the horse engine house revealed the central mellior stone and the footings of a pillar associated with the earlier horse engine house on the site. |
