Abstract: Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) was appointed by Cornwall National Landscape (CNL, formerly AONB) to carry out a range of survey work as part of the Delivery Stage of the Monumental Improvement Project. The project identified 40 monuments at risk or vulnerable across the CNL areas and has been a five-year programme of work seeking to ensure that these monuments are better identified, supported and enjoyed by a wide range of people. The monuments are threatened by a range of issues including scrub growth, erosion and flooding. The Monumental Improvement project will raise awareness, improve interpretation and protect these important historical sites for the benefit of future generations. The archaeological recording by CAU (primarily topographic and LiDAR surveys) provides detailed, updated information on the current survival of these monuments, aiding interpretation and facilitating decision making on future management.
