  • 6 Romano-British (AD 43 – 410)
    Isles of Scilly Historic Environment Research Framework: Resource Assessment and Research Agenda 6 Romano-British (AD 43 – 410) Edited by Charles Johns from contributions from Sarnia Butcher, Kevin Camidge, Dan Charman, Ralph Fyfe, Andy M Jones, Steve Mills, Jacqui Mulville, Henrietta Quinnell, and Paul Rainbird. 6.1 Introduction Although Scilly was a very remote part of the Roman Empire it occupied a pivotal position on the Atlantic façade along the routes of trade and cultural interchange between Brittany and Western Britain; unlike Cornwall, however, it was not a source of streamed tin. The cultural origins of Roman Scilly are rooted in the local Iron Age but sites can be identified which reflect the cult practices of the wider Roman world. Charles Thomas (1985, 170-2) envisaged Roman Scilly as a place of pilgrimage, dominated by a shrine to a native marine goddess at Nornour in the Eastern Isles. The rich Roman finds from that site are among the most iconic and enigmatic emblems of Scilly’s archaeological heritage. The main characteristics of Scilly’s Romano-British (AD 43 to AD 410) resource are summarised in this review. Fig 6.1 Iron Age and Romano-British sites recorded in the Scilly HER 6.2 Landscape and environmental background Results from the Lyonesse Project (Charman et al 2012) suggest that the present pattern of islands was largely formed by this period, although the intertidal zone was much greater in extent (Fig 6.2). Radiocarbon dating and environmental analysis of the lower peat deposit sample from Old Town Bay, St Mary’s, i n 1997 indicated that from the Late Iron Age to the early medieval period the site consisted of an area of shallow freshwater surrounded by a largely open landscape with arable fields and pasture bordering the wetland (Ratcliffe and Straker 1998, 1).

Apologies 38/18 An apology for absence was received from Cllr Mrs C Dempsey. Public Participation Time 39/18 Mr M Potter explained that he had been involved with some 20mph speed restriction initiatives and wanted to know the main concerns of the council. The members of public in attendance raised concerns which included the accuracy of recent statistical data, priority of speed limit requests, traffic calming options, vulnerable road users, tourism and emergency vehicle access at peak times. In response to comments made by the members of the public, Mr Potter detailed how requests for change were considered, scored, ranked and then prioritised. He explained how the rural nature of the roads were a challenge in themselves and confirmed that vulnerable road users such as cyclists, horseback riders and pedestrians would be taken into consideration. It was suggested that, if the parish council supported any request to reduce local speed limits, a formal request be sent to the DCC Community Highways Team. 40/18 Cllr Mr N Bundy and Cllr Mr A Thacker gave an update on Local Government Reorganisation, social housing and infrastructure, bus services and subsidies.
