Carrick Council Offices Site Pydar Street, Truro, Cornwall - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2003-11-01

The desk based assessment has demonstrated that there is a low potential for the survival of Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic material on the Site. The likelihood for Iron Age, Roman and Post-Roman Dark Age material is considered to be moderate to low. The greatest potential for archaeological remains on the Site lies in the medieval, Postmedieval and modern periods. The Site lay within [...]

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2003-11-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

The Desk-Based Assessment has demonstrated that there is a low potential for the survival of Palaeolithic deposits in the form of a ‘raised beach’ on the Site. Whilst the potential for the presence of these deposits is low, their importance requires a scheme for mitigating the possible effects of this mitigation. We cannot be certain, however, that these deposits have not suffered significant [...]
