Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) were commissioned by Silverlake Design to produce an archaeological assessment to support a planning application for a proposed dwelling and associated landscaping works at Land off Mill Lane, Charlestown. The proposed development area adjoins the Luxulyan Valley and Charlestown District of the Cornwall Mining WHS and Charlestown Conservation Area. The assessment identified one Scheduled Monument (SM) within the study area. In addition, 61 non-designated sites recorded in the Cornwall and Scilly Historic Environment Record (HER) were identified within the study area. The desk-based assessment has identified a Leat system crossing the development area, which is likely to have served Charlestown Mill and potentially West Polmear Mine. A geophysical survey was deemed unpractical for the limited footprint of the proposed development and it was not possible to identify any further potential buried archaeology. Potential options for further archaeological mitigation, which might be required by the Local Planning Authority, include a watching brief during groundworks and the recording of any historic boundaries covered by the Hedgerow Regulations. However, the proposed scheme intends to avoid breaching the historic field boundary within the development area |
