Abstract:
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to assess the archaeological and architectural significance of a small complex of ruined barns at Tregerles Farm, near Mitchell, St Newlyn East, Cornwall, prior to their demolition. Tregerles Farm, first documented in c.1340, is likely to have been a tenement on the Manor of Degembris, held by the Arundells of Trerice and thereafter the Dyke-Aclands of Killerton. The place-name is obscure, but the *Tre suffix is a late affectation, and it appears as Grelles or Gerlys in medieval sources. In 1840 it was owned, together with East Nancemeer, by the Rev. Edward Trevenen of Drewsteignton (Devon). The farm lies within an area characterised by the Cornwall and Scilly HLC as medieval farmland, forming part of the category Anciently Enclosed Land (AEL). The archaeological potential of AEL is usually regarded as high. Cropmarks and geophysical surveys on the broad gentle summits of the interfluves in this area indicate the presence of an extensive relict fieldscape interspersed with settlements. The historic farmstead site at Tregerles is, however, located mid-slope, and has been subject to considerable redevelopment, and the degree of truncation apparent would suggest monitoring is unlikely to produce any meaningful result. The farm buildings are arranged along the northern side of the former yard, and comprise a series of fairly small, heavily-altered and now ruinous 19th century buildings. The group contains a number of identifiable structures, but all four are in a parlous state, lacking roofs and almost all internal features and fittings. These structures are relatively late and are in very poor (dangerous) condition. They were once of strictly local importance, and this is diminished by their current poor condition. This report contains a suitably-detailed account of these buildings, and further recording work is difficult to justify.
