Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned by Cornwall Archaeological Unit to undertake a geophysical survey for land adjacent to Manaton Drive, as part of the pre-development works required for the proposed development. The proposed site is located towards the northern extent of the 20th century and later development of Launceston and south of the historic settlement. There is notable activity from multiple historic periods within the surrounding landscape, with areas of medieval farming surrounding the layout of the medieval setting of Launceston. The geophysical survey identified multiple features, including the boundary visible on the tithe mapping. Linears running parallel to this boundary may indicate the presence of agricultural activity such as plough scars. A possible ditch or cut feature also runs along the eastern boundary and may be indicative of a previous field system. A modern utility was also present within the site; some of the survey area was under tree cover and could not be surveyed. |
