Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out on a site of approximately 1.12 ha at Carne Hill, Trewoon, Cornwall, in advance of proposed development. The site of the St Mewan parish poor house, identified in documentary material and known to have been in existence between 1838 and 1851, was also partly excavated. The watching brief identified a number of removed field boundaries, one group of which pre-dated the field pattern documented by historic maps. No dating evidence was recovered, however, and the date of the field system defined by these older boundaries remains unknown. Other boundaries, characterised by the parallel ditches which accompany Cornish hedges (stone-faced earth banks), are likely to have been associated with the smallholdings which occupied the site in the early nineteenth century. A number of ditches containing well-built stone drains were also investigated, some of which were clearly linked to the Cornish hedges associated with the post-medieval smallholdings. Investigation of the poor house site provided an indication of its plan and aspects of its construction, together with a very small assemblage of nineteenth-century artefactual material.
