Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological unit was commissioned by the Westcountry Rivers Trust to carry out a historic building record and watching brief prior to the partial demolition of a weir at Allansford in the parish of Advent in North Cornwall located at NGR SX 11034 79983. As part of a European Funded project called Water for Growth, which aims to protect and enhance the value of the Rivers Camel and Fowey by improving in-river spawning areas and removing fish migration barriers, Allansford weir was identified as a barrier for fish migration. In order to improve the passage of the fish, planning permission was sort so that the weir could be reduced in height, along with an area of the river bed to the east of it. In response to pre-planning advice given by Historic Environment Planning Advice the Westcountry Rivers Trust commissioned CAU to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment to inform the works. As a mitigation measure the HIA recommended that a record should be made of the weir prior to remodeling works and a watching brief undertaken during the work to record the structure and any surrounding features. Conditional planning permission (PA18/05823) for the remodeling of the weir was granted and CAU were commissioned to undertake an historic building record and watching brief during the works. During the works it became apparent that the existing weir had been built during the 1960s reusing the dressed granite blocks of a late 19th century weir which had previously been located a short distance upstream. The existing fish pass adjoining the south end of the weir was inserted in c1991.
