Abstract:		 The results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Long Rock, Ludgvan, Penzance, Cornwall. The site is located on the east edge of Longrock; an industrial and residential estate to the east of Penzance and immediately south of the A30. The Cornwall and Scilly Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) characterises the fields of the site as forming part of post-medieval enclosed land. The Long Rock Mine is recorded as having multiple shafts and possible lodes within the site boundary (WM 2018). A previous desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and Heritage Impact Assessment has been undertaken on the site (Bonvoisin 2019). This revealed geophysical anomalies associated with historical boundaries, undated drains/ditches and probable made-grounds. The results of the evaluation validated the interpretation of the geophysical survey. The results depict a series of modern drainage ditches and land drains associated with the post-medieval/modern enclosure of the site. The site appears to contain what would have been a substantial open drainage ditch running its length, approximately north-west by south-east, with various contemporary and later phases of drainage being employed through the 19th and 20th centuries. Some evidence of 20th century earthmoving in the south-east part of the site was also identified. Given the results of the evaluation trenching and the archaeological and historical background for the site, it is unlikely that further archaeological works would yield significant results. Therefore, it is recommended that no further archaeological works are required on the site.
