Abstract:		 In May 2010 HE Projects carried out an excavation for Cornwall Rural Housing Association Ltd in advance of the construction of a bungalow at Higher Town, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly. The development site is adjacent to a Scheduled Monument described as 'Prehistoric to Romano-British Field System and Settlement at Higher Town, St Agnes' (SM 15456), and, in October 2009, an archaeological watching brief during groundworks for the construction of the two neighbouring affordable houses had revealed a prehistoric circular, stone-built structure (overlain by a cairn), two other cairns and a large number of finds including an almost whole pot. The bungalow site was divided into two discrete zones of prehistoric activity: in the south-west, downslope, part of the site were a number of shallow, sub-circular pits cut into the natural clay while the north-east, upslope, part of the site contained stratified archaeological deposits and structural remains, including parts of two buildings, two hearths and extensive shell middens. A total of 1416 finds were recovered including animal bone, pottery, stone, flint, glass, metalwork and burnt clay. The archaeological remains revealed on the site are evidently part of the south-western extent of Scheduled Monument 15456 'prehistoric to Romano-British field system and settlement at Higher Town, St Agnes', and associated with the remains found in 2009. The results of Phases 1 and 2 of the archelogical mitigation will be published in 'Cornish Archaeology', the journal of the Cornwall Archaeological Society.
