Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a geophysical survey at the Bude Camping and Caravanning Club, St Genny's, Bude, Cornwall. The site is an existing caravan/camp site that had been two fields that were ostensibly open ground enclosed in the post-medieval and modern periods, although the southern part of the site may have been farmed through the medieval period. Near to the site are multiple prehistoric assets including enclosures and predominantly barrows, which survive or have been truncated/destroyed to varying degrees. The geophysical survey indicates that a significant amount of landscaping has taken place across the site, including the stripping of topsoil, levelling the ground, and the laying of new surfaces/track-ways. The geophysical survey also identified services across the site. A single anomaly, most likely a further modern service, has been flagged up as a precautionary measure, due to the level of magnetic disturbance across parts of the site. Despite the known archaeology in the wider area, the geophysical survey does not indicate the survival/presence of significant archaeological features or deposits on the site. |
