Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based appraisal, walkover survey and geophysical survey undertaken on land off Hendrawna Meadows, Liskey Hill, Perranporth, Cornwall. This work was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. at the request of Cornwall Fine Homes. (the Client), in order to inform the future use and/or development of the site. The site is located on the southern edge of the expanding settlement of Perranporth. It lay within the medieval Manor of Tywarnhaile, close to the contemporary settlement of Bolingey. The morphology of the fields here would imply they are post-medieval enclosures, but they remained largely unchanged during the period 1840-1950. Part of the Perranporth area lies within the St Agnes District World Heritage Site, and the mining here was clearly significant; however, there is no evidence that any mining, or mining-related activity, took place on this site. Work carried out in advance of an adjacent development identified a ring ditch (probably a roundhouse) associated with Iron Age pottery. The geophysical survey carried out on the site identified a series of geophysical anomalies, most of which can be associated with recent developments around the site. The most convincing feature is a linear anomaly with a rounded corner that defines either an enclosure or a track, but even this could still be fairly recent in origin. However, given the results of fieldwork in the wider area, there is moderate potential for encountering Prehistoric remains on the site, and a limited programme of intrusive archaeological investigation may be warranted. |
