Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeology Unit, County Council was commissioned by Mr Tony Bowden (Gilbert and Goode Ltd) to undertake a rapid assessment and archaeological watching brief in advance of the construction of two four bedroom houses, a garage and garden walls on a site behind the Dolphin Inn, Grampound. Access to the site was via Pepo Lane and Trybesta. The site lies within Grampound Conservation Area and an Area of Great Landscape Value, and is located within one of a number of distinctive later medieval burgage plots. The rapid desk-based assessment included using the historic mapping and other information layers on GIS, published sources and the HER. No specific sites were highlighted within the site, although two scheduled medieval crosses are positioned just to the south and east of the site, and many of the adjacent Fore Street buildings are Grade II Listed Buildings. The watching brief recorded the below ground remains of post-1880 structures shown on the 1907 OS mapping, a pre-1840 probable track and deep cultivated soils built up during the plots long-term cultivation. |
