Abstract: |
The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land east of Ty An Gwyn, Sancreed, Penzance, Cornwall. The site is located to the north-west of the village of Sancreed across a roughly rectangular field classified as within Anciently Enclosed Farmland, although adjacent to modern enclosed land and upland rough ground. Sancreed contains medieval HER's associated with the village and church (e.g. MCO21805). Immediately south of the site is The Beacon, a hill that contains prehistoric barrows and settlement activity, and post-medieval mining activity (e.g. MCO3441, MCO21598, MCO12500). No probable significant or probable/possible archaeological anomalies were identified in the geophysical survey. Evident in the survey data were geological anomalies and variation associated with the underlying granite geology. Any potential buried archaeological resource on the site will have been truncated to some degree by agricultural activity. Given the results of the geophysical survey it does not appear that any further archaeological works are warranted in this instance. |
