Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a heritage impact assessment that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a non-residential development at Carvynick Holiday Park (North Field), Summercourt, Newquay, Cornwall. Carvynick bears an evocative name (stone fort) and it is the site of a Barton farm that was held by a succession of minor local gentry families. The surviving farmhouse is Grade II Listed and it bears the datestone 1699, however it has since been converted into a rustic country public house that serves the holiday park that is laid out around it. The North Field is in agricultural use and the cropmarks of a series of enclosures of Later Prehistoric or Romano-British date have been identified here. The archaeological potential of the site is therefore assessed as high. The impact of the proposed development on the buried archaeological resource would be permanent and irreversible, however this could be mitigated through an appropriate programme of archaeological monitoring and recording. In terms of indirect impacts, all of the designated heritage assets within the wider area are located at a distance whereby the impact of the proposed development on the assets would be minimised, or where the contribution of the setting to the overall significance of the assets is less important than other factors. The landscape context of the nearby assets is such that they would be partially or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed development by a combination of local blocking from trees, buildings, or embankments, or from modern intrusions that have already impinged upon their setting. |
