TAMARISK HOLIDAY FARM, PORTHCOTHAN, CORNWALL, REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, FEBRUARY 1999

Author(s): Louise Martin

A magnetometer survey was conducted over an area of approximately 1.4 ha at Tamarisk Holiday Farm, Porthcothan, Cornwall, where a metal detector had previously located copper ingots believed to be Bronze Age in date. No magnetic anomalies were revealed in the vicinity of the find although a number of linear responses, possibly related to former field boundaries, were noted. Several intense magnetic anomalies were identified and are possibly indicative of thermoremanent features; however, no direct association with metalworking can be suggested.
