Abstract: |
The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land south of Boswidjack Farm, Constantine, Cornwall. The site is located immediately south of the extended farm ranges and in the south-western corner of a gently sloped south facing field. Historic mapping of the area suggests that the site appears to have been part of at least two fields during the 19th century, with the field division bisecting the survey area on a rough north-west to south-east axis. The geophysical survey identified seven groups of geophysical anomalies, five probably relating to archaeological activity. The majority of the archaeological features are of unknown origin or date, perhaps relating to a previous field system or enclosure. A relict historic field boundary is also indentified within the site. Taking into consideration the results of the geophysical survey, as well as historic mapping of the area and nearby archaeological assets, the archaeological potential of the site is low to medium. Based on the results of the walkover and geophysical survey, further archaeological works on this site may be merited, most appropriately in the form of a watching brief. |
