Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2015 at Middle Point, Falmouth, Cornwall. Two trenches were excavated. Pendennis Castle (constructed 1540-1545) is located c. 300m south-west of the site. Historic cartographic sources suggest that additional fortifications (including a possible tower) were located in the south-eastern part of the site. The evaluation trenches were positioned to test the potential former location of the possible tower. The evaluation recorded evidence that the ground level in the area of the evaluation trenches has been substantially built up, without significant truncation to the underlying deposits. This process presumably occurred during the installation of underground oil fuel storage tanks at the site during the Second World War. The evaluation recorded no archaeological features at the site and there were no indications of any former structures. This suggests either that the possible fortification associated with Pendennis Castle has been completely removed, or that the fortification lay outside of the site boundary.
