Abstract: |
In July 2018 the Cornwall Archaeological Unit carried out an archaeological watching brief on behalf of English Heritage during the excavation of postholes for new signage at St Mawes Castle, Cornwall (NGR SW 84106 32756), in order to fulfil a condition of Scheduled Monument Consent for the scheme. St Mawes Castle is a Scheduled Monument No: SM 1013807 a fortified landscape and monuments dating from the sixteenth century through to the early twentieth century. The main objectives of the archaeological recording were to document any archaeological features, and recover any artefacts were revealed within the postholes. A total of 6 different locations were examined during the course of this watching brief. This involved the removal of three existing interpretation panels, and the installation of three new ones. No archaeological features were recorded, and no artefacts recovered, demonstrating that this project had little or no impact on buried archaeology within the enceinte, or surroundings of the castle. |
