Abstract: |
watching brief to determine the presence or absence of archaeological resources within the Site, and if present, to provide a detailed description of their character, extent, date, quality, and state of preservation. Two archaeological watching briefs were undertaken ISCA Archaeology on 21 June 2022 and 12 July 2023 at Land north-east of Parkengear Farm, Probus, Cornwall during ground works associated with the construction of two residential dwellings, one single-storey and one two story. To the northern part of the site, a single east/west aligned ditch was recorded. The lack of any artefactual material suggested that the ditch may predate the post-medieval period. Elsewhere to the north, a single posthole cut the subsoil, and the presence of degraded timber within suggested a modern date. Two clearly modern pits and a concrete and brick cess pit were also recorded. To the south of the site the footings for the single-storey building were observed, but no archaeological deposits were noted. |
