Abstract: |
The results of a heritage impact assessment (HIA) and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a proposed residential development on land at Treloweth Lane, St Erth, Hayle, 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 proposed development would be located within two fields belonging historically to the Manor of Treloweth, documented in 1301 but likely to have its origins in the early medieval period. Treloweth was owned by the Tredrea family of the neighbouring eponymous manor, but came into the possession of the St Aubyns of St Michael's Mount and Clowance in the late 17th century. In the 19th century the Manor of Treloweth consisted of two farms, numerous cottages with gardens, and a blowing house at what is now the Lamb and Flag; mining took place along the western edge of the manor. The location of the site between two arms of the River Hayle and within Anciently Enclosed Land indicates the archaeological potential of the site is high. An analysis of the historic maps very tentatively identified a possible Roman military site east of Treloweth Lane, and a possible late Prehistoric or Romano-British enclosure beneath Treloweth Cottages. However, the results of the geophysical survey of Field 1 - which principally identified modern services - would suggest otherwise. The geophysical survey of Field 2 indicates a possibly poorly surviving undated field system and further disturbance by modern services. On that basis the archaeological potential of the site is assessed as moderate. |
