Abstract:		 South West Archaeology undertook an assessment and monitoring of a former engine house at Tolgullow Vean, a detached stone building, formerly an engine house for the Tolgullow United Mine (also known as West Poldice Mine), and now redundant. An archaeological assessment of the building showed it was indicated on 1880s mapping as an Engine House and the structure clearly displays evidence of at least two phases of construction or development whilst retaining that function. A sizeable element of the building was demolished by 1908 and the remainder was later converted (in the 20th century) to agricultural use, when it housed young cattle for a local farmer. The building has subsequently undergone numerous phases of repair and some fairly extensive re-building in the later 20th century. Archaeological monitoring and recording of the excavation of a pipe trench as part of the conversion of the Tolgullow Vean engine house to a dwelling, revealed evidence for a possible ancillary structure and a spread of material associated with the production of lime mortar. Unfortunately, no dating evidence was recovered that would allow these features to be related to the use of the building
