Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land south of Trehannick Close, St. Teath, Cornwall. The site is located away from the historic core of the village and south of its 20th century expansion. The desk-based assessment suggests that the site appears to have been part of a single large agricultural field since at least the start of the 19th century. The HER for the local area shows very few assets, the name of the farm Carkeen may be suggestive of a round, but no physical evidence survives. A few assets are located in the village including the church and a medieval wheelheaded cross, but none of these have any bearing on the proposed development. The site inspection did not reveal any evidence of earthworks or artefactual material. The geophysical survey identified eight groups of probable or possible anomalies that relate to archaeological activity. The majority of the anomalies appear to relate to historic agricultural activity, although there are a small number of discrete features of unknown archaeological origin or date. The debris masking much of the site means the archaeological potential of the site is unproven; however, for those areas where the geophysical survey worked, and taking into consideration the recorded heritage assets in the wider area, the archaeological potential of the site is low to medium. Based on the results of the walkover and geophysical surveys, further archaeological works on this site are unlikely to add significant additional detail to the archaeological record. |
