Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned by George Allen of Allen Construction Consultancy Ltd. (the Project Manager) on behalf of Forest Crest Developments Ltd (the Client). to undertake a geophysical survey on land at Station Approach, Victoria, Roche, Cornwall. The work was carried out to inform potential future development, and for related off-site analysis and reporting. The site is located at the south-eastern end of the hamlet of Victoria to the south of the A30, in the parish of Roche. The site is situated on agricultural land associated with medieval farmsteads. The north and east sides of the site were waterlogged. The results of the geophysical survey would suggest that there are relatively few features of archaeological origin present within the area of the proposed development. The survey identified a known service pipeline and probable drainage ditches. The lower slope of the site was clearly subject to water-logging and showed no evidence of modification. The upper slope appeared to have been ploughed, which will have truncated any early potential features and probably the drainage ditches. The proposed development of the site would disturb an undated ditch associated with drainage. The development would be unlikely to disturb significant archaeological deposits. |
