A site walkover and a a total of nine hand auger locations was undertaken on the foreshore to the east of Newlyn Harbour in order to gain information about the superficial deposits within the proposed access route, and to inform requirements for and scope of further archaeological and geoarchaeological investigations. The archaeological walkover survey was carried out under the standards outlined in CIfA (CIfA 2014a; updated October 2020), and Historic England (English Heritage 2011) guidance.The deposits were described by a suitably experienced geoarchaeologist following Hodgson (1997). No mechanical borehole survey was required. There were no visible archaeological, architectural or historic remains and no deposits of geoarchaeological potential recorded within the access route. To the north east and south west of the access route large, dressed granite kerb stones measuring up to 2.0m in length and up to 1.0m in width formed the edge of the old Newlyn to Penzance road that had previously run along the top of the shoreline. Although it was outside of the access road, two rows of wooden piles were also recorded approximately 30m to the west of the access route. The wooden piles were rounded in profile, heavily weathered and appeared to be formed from roughly worked logs, between 0.2m and 0.3m in diameter with up to a maximum of 0.5m surviving exposed from the beach sediments. From what could be observed the surviving wooden piles comprised two lines approximately 11.0m and 6.0m in length running roughly parallel with the granite block kerb stones. These possibly relate to a line of waterlogged timbers (HER 18842) recorded after a storm in December 1989 and thought to be Medieval/Post Medieval in date and part of earlier sea defences. A hand auger was used to investigate nine borehole locations within the access route across the intertidal zone. The deposits recorded were comprised of varying depths of beach sands over cobbles, with a maximum depth gained of 0.73m. In the absence of sediments suitable for mechanical coring, no hand-held window sampling was undertaken. In addition, in the absence of sufficient stratigraphic data, no deposit modelling was carried out. With no deposits of geoarchaeological potential recorded and no archaeological features present within the access route, no recommendations are made for further works.
