Abstract: |
the results of a heritage impact assessment (HIA) and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for future residential development on land at Halt Road, St Newlyn East, Cornwall. This work was undertaken in order to assess the potential impact of development of the site and set it within its historical and archaeological context. The desk-based assessment suggests that the site appears to have previously been five separate agricultural fields, with the divisions within the larger field changing between the Tithe and Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping, and opened into two separate fields after the early 20th century. A few assets are located in the village including the church and listed cottages and buildings. The site inspection did not reveal any evidence of earthworks or artefactual material. The geophysical survey identified fifteen groups of anomalies, twelve of which relate to probable or possible archaeological activity. Numerous clear cut features or ditches are visible across the site, these are not visible on, and therefore likely predate, the historic mapping, possibly representing former field boundaries. Further anomalies appearing to relate to agricultural activity are also present, as well as a small number of discrete features of unknown archaeological origin or date. |
