Abstract: |
On the basis of the terms of an archaeological condition attached to a grant of planning permission (PA14/09661), CAU were commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological recording during the groundworks phase of a small development adjacent to Foundry Farm, Hayle, Cornwall. The site is adjacent to that of the former Harvey's Foundry, once Cornwall's premier beam engine foundry and mining machinery engineering works, and specifically to the site of the house and extensive outbuildings constructed by the family who established the Harvey's works at Hayle in the 1770s. Trenching for the foundations of the new dwelling revealed the truncated walls of a previously undocumented building. A desk based assessment showed that the development site had been open ground since at least the 1790s, having since then been occupied part of an area of fields and subsequently an orchard and lane and then a small yard adjacent to Foundry Lane. Whilst the building might have had an agricultural origin, there remains the possibility that it was part of the original foundry complex established in 1779. No artefactual evidence was retrieved which could indicate the function of the building or the period during which it was constructed and occupied. |
