Abstract:		 The archaeological watching brief revealed historic zones including former heathland, ancient Enclosed Landscapes, prehistoric remains and post-medieval stream-workings. Flint finds of Mesolithic and Neolithic date, representing the first recovered artefacts from this area and showing continuos human activity in the landscape, dating back well over 6000 years were revealed. Two Iron Age/Romano-British ditches, contemporary with a fortified enclosure to the south east of Dowran were identified. Unstratified pottery of similar date was recovered from nearby fields while two further sherds of possible Iron Age pottery were recovered in a ditch feature within Recently Enclosed Land to the south. Medieval and early post-medieval artefacts and agricultural features, including boundaries, grubbed-out banks and ditches were located. Data collected provided insights into the various phases of enclosure of heathland between the 18th and 19th centuries and the creation of various post-medieval smallholdings. Evidence of mining including stream-works at Dowran and Numphra. [Au(abr)]
