Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to produce a heritage statement for a weir located to the south of Bodmin at Glynn Weir, Cardinham, Cornwall. This work was undertaken on behalf of the West Country Rivers Trust in advance of proposals to remove or modify the weir to facilitate fish movement. Glynn weir first appears on the 2nd edition OS map, giving a construction date of between 1881 and 1907. It is not designated, nor mentioned in the listing text for Glynn House, despite its relationship with the designed gardens of that building. The weir has undergone repairs during the 20th century using inappropriate materials and there is structural damage to the weir that affect its functionality. If works adapting the fish pass move forward in the future monitoring of the feature may be required to ensure adequate recording of the structure beneath the concrete capping can take place. A comprehensive photographic record has been made of the weir in its current state, both with the water and following drainage. Further drawings of the weir could be recorded if works are to take place and it will change from its current form, recording the various layers of repair and alteration. |
