Abstract: |
The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the WSI (AC 2014) and
Method Statement (CA 2015). An archaeologist was present during intrusive
groundworks which comprised of the excavation of high and low voltage cable
trenches and excavations for the foundations of transformers and inverters.
Groundworks were undertaken by mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless
grading bucket. All machine excavation was undertaken under constant
archaeological supervision to the top of the first significant archaeological horizon or
the natural substrate, whichever was encountered first. Where archaeological
deposits were encountered they were excavated by hand in accordance with CA
Technical manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. Areas were surveyed in
accordance with CA Technical Manual 4 Survey Manual. An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology at the New Solar
Farm on land at Wilton Farm, Trerulefoot, Cornwall. Groundworks associated with the
excavation of cable trenches and foundations for transformers and inverters were observed.
Field boundary ditches (some corresponding with features depicted on the 1840 Tithe Map),
hedgebanks and a curvilinear ditch were identified. |
