Abstract:		 The development area is located near the core area of the medieval settlement of the town of St Just, situated some 60m south of the Plen-an-Gwary. The area is currently a walled garden. The St Just in Penwith Tithe Map, dating to 1841, shows the site to have been part of a smallholding known as Bucks Field. Probably part of the former tenement of Lafrowda, By circa 1877, OS map evidence suggests that the field had been laid out as a formal garden to the rear of the Market House, the mapping showing a path around the periphery of the plot, with a square central feature to which additional paths led. The 1908 OS map shows evidence that this formal arrangement was abandoned and two probable walls were shown dividing the plot into thirds (Fig 6). It is not known to what degree the gardens were ever publicly accessible. No features of archaeological interest were recorded within the course of the work. There was no evidence for the apparent formal garden layout depicted on the 1875 OS map or the three plots or terraces indicated by walls running ENE by WSW on the 1906 OS map suggesting that these features were very ephemeral indeed. The 'blank' nature of this area suggests that until the expansion of the town of St Just in the 19th century in response to the growth in population due to mining, this area remained as farmland, probably attached to the tenement of Lafrowda and that the limits of the medieval heart of the Churchtown were possibly far more restricted than previously considered and did not extend this far. It was concluded that this development had no impact on any significant buried archaeological remains.
