Abstract: |
Results of a desk-based appraisal and walkover survey undertaken on land at Packsaddle, Penryn, Cornwall. This work was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. on behalf of Simon Manaton of APG Architecture, in order to inform future use of the site. No archaeological works have taken place in the immediately vicinity of the site, but across the valley to the south at the Tremough University Campus excavations over the last two decades have revealed a complex and significant relict Prehistoric landscape. The site itself lies in an area of medieval settlement and fieldsystems. The walkover documented that the northern part of the site has been heavily terraced, by up to 5m in places, which would have removed any archaeological features or artefactual remains. The central part of the site has been built up and thus archaeological features, if they were present, would have been deeply buried. The southern and western parts of the site appear to follow the natural slope of the former field, but even these show evidence of ground disturbance and tipping. No archaeological earthworks or other remains were observed, and despite the proximity of Tremough the levels of disturbance would indicate the archaeological potential of the site is low. |
