Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was conducted over the site of a suspected prehistoric enclosure identified from aerial photographs at Crasken Farm, Helston, Cornwall, threatened by development proposals. The site lies immediately to the North of a wider landscape of archaeological activity including the Crasken Round scheduled ancient monument, annex enclosures associated with this Round and an additional prehistoric enclosure. The soil mark identified at the Crasken Farm site is similar to the dimensions of Crasken Round and may well represent an equally significant archaeological feature. To investigate this further a magnetometer survey was conducted over ~4ha of the site and successfully identified a number of linear and circular anomalies. However, the location of the soil mark failed to produce a corresponding magnetic anomaly. |
