Abstract:		 HE Projects was requested by Mr Ben Wilson of Studio Arc to provide a project design and an estimate for an archaeological assessment and geophysical survey of the proposed site for 15 dwellings at Lower Polstain, Threemilestone, Truro (PA/12/01849). Overall the development covers an area of approximately 0.8 HA The project comprised a desk-based assessment, analysis of a geophysical survey of the site and a walkover survey. The site derives from one of the smallholdings established in former downland at the end if the 18th century by local miners, but occupies an area of the landscape notable for the abundance of evidence for settlement and agricultural activities during the Iron Age and the Romano-British periods. Excavations at the nearby Richard Lander School also showed that some of these later settlements had Bronze Age antecedents. The desk-based assessment revealed some intriguing detail of the development of Polstain as a smallholding, whilst the geophysical survey revealed the site of a formerly undocumented miners' cottage in the northern part of the site. No indications of earlier archaeological sites were revealed. A report summarising the results of the assessment and its conclusions was prepared for the client.
