Abstract: |
The results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land south of Callywith College, Bodmin, Cornwall. The site is located on the north-east side of Bodmin across four fields of post-medieval enclosure, within 0.6km of the heart of the early medieval settlement of Bodmin. Previous archaeological works immediately north of the site identified historic boundaries and modern features; and a previous geophysical survey on the site identified probable ditches, pits and areas of ground disturbance and a possible roundhouse. The archaeological evaluation largely validated the results of the geophysical survey The possible roundhouse identified in the geophysical survey did not exist and the corresponding response equated to a field drain and geological variation. The evaluationt demonstrated that a large geophysical anomaly in the south-west of the site related to a post-medieval or modern pit; and that linear anomalies equated to two post-medieval ditches, and two undated, probably medieval or later ditches. Evidence of ploughing and field drains were also present. The site had a distinct lack of finds, with only post-medieval and modern artefacts accounted for. |
