Description

South West Archaeology Ltd (SWARCH) were asked to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land off Angarrack Lane, Connor Downs, Cornwall prior to any potential future development of the Site. A Historic Environment Impact Assessment was carried out by AC Archaeology in 2021 and included the results of a geophysical survey carried out by Lefort Geophysics. The report concludes that the features identified in the geophysical survey are of agricultural origin, and that there were two small buildings in the centre of the site in the mid-19th century which have both since been removed. The evaluation was undertaken to validate the results of this geophysical survey and determine the extent, date and value of the identified archaeological resource. The evaluation confirmed the validity of the geophysical survey and Identified 10 archaeological features, most of which corresponded with the identified anomalies. The only features which produced artefactual evidence were recovered from ditches that related to boundaries removed in the 20th century, and no pre-18th century artefacts were recovered from the site. The other ditches and single post-hole were all undated and most likely relate to previous phases of post-medieval land-use.
