Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned by to undertake a geophysical survey for land at Falmouth Golf Course, as part as pre-commencement works prior to the creation of a new 18th green. The proposed site is located on the eastern edge of Falmouth Golf Course and located away from the historic core of the town. There is some previous activity noted on the Cornwall HER within the surrounding area, including Second World War features, including a barrage balloon site, which was excavated in 2012. The site lies within a landscape of post-medieval enclosed land, but lies to the north-east of medieval farmland. The geophysical survey identified multiple features of archaeological origin, the clearest being two historic field boundaries, present on the historic mapping of the site. The alignment and location of these boundaries are still visible as earthworks, with a small section of the southern boundary remaining standing. The majority of the other features may correspond to parts of an earlier field system, of an unknown date. Two parallel possible banks are also present within the site but have no demonstrably clear relationship with other anomaly groups. The responses in the northern corner of the site have a less clear origin and may relate to a service found during 2012 excavations or potentially Second World War features. |
