King Arthur’s Hall – Excavation by Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Posted on by

In September, the Cornwall AONB’s Monumental Improvement project will be working with the Cornwall Archaeological Unit to conduct an excavation of King Arthur’s Hall, an at-risk Scheduled Monument  in St Breawrd on Bodmin Moor. The team will carry out a small investigative excavation in order to understand more about the age of this enigmatic site which will ultimately help to inform its future management.

Specialists teams will be digging a small trench near the entrance to King Arthur’s Hall to examine the bank and the adjacent leat system, using Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating to try and determine when it was built. The team will also be taking pollen, peat and water samples and examining the standing stones inside the Hall in order to discover more about the construction and use of the Monument in the past.

The main objectives of the excavation are:

  • To develop a clear chronology for the construction of the site

  • To understand the use of the Monument and its relationship with the adjacent leat system

  • To understand how the site and the environment may have changed over time

  • To understand the longer-term conservation needs of the Monument

This excavation is part of the two-year Monumental Improvement project which is seeking to ensure that 40 Scheduled Monuments in the Cornwall AONB (which are on the Heritage at Risk register of classified as vulnerable), are better protected and identified

On Saturday 17th  September Cornwall AONB will be holding a free community  event at the Village Hall – 11am-1pm and 2-4pm, with an inflatable planetarium, activities for children and lots more

Parish Magazine: September edition now available

Posted on by

With the forthcoming huge increase in energy prices, this edition of the Parish Magazine includes some helpful advice from different sources: Cornwall Councillors give information on a funding scheme for tenants of private landlords and also provide contact information for accessing the Sustainable Warmth Scheme. Our MP gives a reminder of the Energy Bills Support Scheme and “Words from the Wise” provides some helpful Money Saving Hints.

There is an item about this month’s forthcoming investigative  excavation of King Arthur’s Hall on Bodmin Moor to try and solve the mystery of what it was for. There are events available for the public to attend but these must be pre-booked: all details are in the magazine.

There are articles – and photos – on nature; reports on events past and planned by the various groups in our village(s); items from the Church, the WI and Trikyd’s Miary (a wry view of events); Coffee Break quizzes etc, adverts from local traders and much more.

All this, in an easy read, attractive format for only £1.50!
