Abstract:		 Evaluation trenching, following geophysical survey, of four fields at Lower Tregeen Farm, Davidstow, Cornwall. Whilst the existence of the removed post-medieval field boundaries suggested by the geophysical survey was confirmed, most of the more ephemeral features plotted by the survey were not revealed during the evaluation trenching. The majority of the shallow gullies and ditches which were recorded during the evaluation appeared to represent drainage management features, these being thought likely to have been excavated during the post-medieval improvement of former downland at this location to agricultural fields. The majority of the pottery recovered from the area adjacent to the farmyard was post medieval and appeared to be of 19th century date, probably brought into the field during manuring activity. Whilst the pieces of flint that were recovered during the evaluation trenching appeared to date to the Late Mesolithic or early Neolithic period, most were not diagnostic pieces.
