  • The University of Exeter<Br>
    News from the Universities The University of Exeter Initiatives in local, regional and community history The University of Exeter now operates on two separate campuses, Streatham Campus in Exeter and, since 2005, Tremough Campus near Falmouth, Cornwall. History at Exeter has expanded considerably in the last decade, partly as a result of the opening of the Tremough campus. There are now 27 full-time staff based at Streatham and another 10 in Tremough, with research interests extending from early Medieval Britain to post- Communist Eastern Europe. In the last five years there has also been a considerable intensification of activity in local and regional history, as History has sought to forge links with local community groups, institutions and other charitable and business organisations. In many respects staff at Tremough have taken the lead in developing these connections. A strong civic dimension has been developed within the History cluster at Tremough, with significant engagement with the Cornish community at a variety of levels. This was based initially on the long-standing work of the Institute of Cornish Studies, part of the University of Exeter but part-funded by Cornwall Council, and located in Cornwall well before the establishment of the Cornwall Campus. Since the early 1990s, the Institute has focused on issues of identity in modern Cornwall, which it has explored through a variety of methods—for example, biography, demography and oral history—and which has led among other things to the establishment of strong links with the overseas Cornish diaspora and to the publication of the annual volume Cornish Studies (University of Exeter Press).

The resistance survey confirmed the earthwork banks and ditches that were apparent on the ground and in addition showed some anomalies that were not visible on the surface. A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out over the same area and provided little new information, possibly due to peculiarities of the local geofluvial substrate.

Positive linear anomalies within the south-west corner of the site may have represented an extension to archaeological features previously identified during excavations. Several linear and curvilinear anomalies within the eastern half of the site may also have indicated the presence of a subcircular enclosure with internal and external ring ditch features. A positive linear anomaly extending across the centre of the site from north to south corresponded to the location of a parish boundary. Several other positive anomalies also corresponded to the location of drains and ditches and indicated former land divisions.
