Abstract: |
The results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. for land near Perranwell Station, Perranarworthwal, Cornwall. The site is located in an area with known archaeological potential, largely associated with the wider industrial landscape of the area and including a known mine shaft on the site. This work follows on from a previous archaeological assessment and geophysical survey. The evaluation at Perranwell identified a total of 12 features reflecting the post-medieval and modern history of the site. These features include a series of post-medieval double-ditched field boundaries indicative of Cornish hedgebanks; a mine shaft likely associated with the 19th century Silver Hill Mine; a modern pit excavated for the removal and detonation of an unexploded World War II bomb; and a series of geotechnical pits relating to modern works on the site. Given the results of the archaeological evaluation the archaeological potential for the site is low and it is not recommended that any further archaeological investigations are undertaken on this site. |
