Abstract: |
The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land off Vicarage Hill, Mevagissey, Cornwall. This work was undertaken in support of a planning application. The site is located in the civil parish of Mevagissey, c.0.7km north of the historic core of the settlement. There are documentary references to Mevagisi from 1410, but the proposed development would be located on land to the south-west of Trewinney Farm within the glebe attached to Penwarne Manor, formerly belonging to the Penwarne, Carew and Fortescue families. The geophysical survey identified responses that may indicate removed field boundaries. These do not correspond with the boundaries seen on the historic mapping, so may predate the mapping or be related to more modern activity, such as vehicular disturbance. On the basis of the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the site appears to be moderate, and the groundworks for the proposed development will have a permanent and irreversible impact. |
