Full description

Buck, C., 2015, Buctor Farm, Tavistock (Report - Assessment). SDV359746.

This study was commissioned by the landowner on behalf of Natural England as part of a Higher Level Environmental Stewardship Agreement Scheme and produced by Cornwall Archaeological Unit, Cornwall Council.

Within the past decade the ground has been excavated with a machine digger to form a large pond, which was subsequently stocked with fish. This excavation and ground creation may have impacted upon the site of the Shillamill Manganese Mill (Site 15).

Survey
The area of the pond is shown on modern OS mapping. It is not known if fish are still in the pond.

Recommendation
Not applicable.

Ordnance Survey, 2016, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359352.
