Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a historic building recording and complete archaeological monitoring for Bellhay Cottage, Church Road, Cardinham, Cornwall. This work was undertaken in accordance with a WSI and completed in order to discharge and fulfil a Planning Condition for the demolition and replacement of the cottage. Bellhay sits in a large grassed plot, partly terraced into the slope and laid-to lawn. The wider site is partly enclosed to the east by herringbone stone hedgebanks forming a small raised yard. This yard had a former set of service buildings or a small barn within it, there is evidence of a linhay, with dressed granite piers laid to one side. To the west, a historic hedgebank has been partly removed at the south end and more modern gates set into the fields. There is a steep valley to the north-west which curves around to the north. On the initial survey the existing cottage had no roof, and its interior looked weathered and ruinous. The demolition of the cottage was not monitored, although the excavation of the new buildings footings was monitored. The excavations revealed no archaeological features or deposits, and no finds were recovered, the site having been terraced, at some time prior to the 19th century construction of Bellhay. |
