Abstract:		 HE Projects was commissioned by Andy Cresswell, Senior Transport Planning Technician CORMAC Consultancy to undertake a programme of archaeological recording in advance of groundwork required for the construction of a cycle track circa 295m long across two fields immediately south of Tretherras School in Newquay. The route of the track starts just to the south of the Newquay Sports and Community Centre (SW 82621 61731) running roughly west, south-west to east, north-east to join with Trevenson Road at SW 82910 61765. The site lies within 'Anciently Enclosed' Land in very close proximity to two Iron Age/Romano-British rounds, so there was a high potential for prehistoric and medieval sites to survive within the project area. The earliest identified evidence for activity was the presence of prehistoric flints. None were diagnostic though some may be of Neolithic date. A single ditch was recorded that may form part of the field system associated with the Iron Age/Romano-British sub-rectangular ditched enclosure that lies to the south east. A pairing of ditches and a linear stony spread were identified as most likely representing post-medieval field boundaries, the paired ditches being typical of a removed Cornish hedge. No other features of archaeological interest were seen over the site and it was found that the development had very little or no impact on any significant buried remains.
