Abstract: |
In November 2017 Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU), Cornwall Council was commissioned by to undertake a programme of archaeological recording during groundworks associated with the construction of the SERSF Building at Tremough.. The area lies within the university campus, and was currently in use as a carpark. The groundwork involved stripping a roughly sub rectangular area measuring roughly 34m x 16m (approximately 0.06 Ha). Before becoming a university campus, the development area at Tremough was located within an area of Anciently Enclosed Land that was partially transformed into an Ornamental Landscape consisting of parkland during the post-medieval period. Previous archaeological investigations have revealed the Tremough campus to be one of the richest archaeological sites in Cornwall, with archaeological investigations finding evidence for human occupation extending, at least intermittently, from Mesolithic through to the historic Queen Anne house (Gossip and Jones 2007). It was found that the whole area had been heavily disturbed by previous development work. Up to 0.5m of redeposited material was recorded overlying orange-brown clay (rab), the decayed natural bedrock with solid granite beneath. Apart from some modern service trenches no archaeological features or artefacts were encountered during the course of the watching brief. |
