Abstract:		 The Tate Gallery at St Ives lies in the northern part of the town adjacent to Porthmeor beach at NGR SW 51685 40779. The proposed site of the extension lies immediately south-west of the existing gallery and covers an area of approximately 0.12 hectares. Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council were commissioned by Marc Yacobi of Drivers, Jonas, Deloitte on behalf of the Tate to carry out an archaeological assessment of the area in advance of seeking planning permission for the development. No sites of archaeological significance were identified within the development area during the desk-based survey and site visit, but a total of 8 sites in the surrounding area were identified during the desk-based survey. Two sites were classed as sites of Regional Importance and the rest were classed as sites of Local Importance. The northern half of the area was excavated down to slate bedrock when a terrace of flats was constructed during the late 20th century rendering this part of the site devoid of any archaeological potential. The southern part of the development area, however, has some limited potential for the survival of archaeological features of either prehistoric or medieval or post-medieval date. A recommendation for mitigation is that an archaeological watching brief may be appropriated during groundworks in the southern half of the site.
