Abstract:		 The Cornwall Archaeological Unit (formerly HE Projects, CC) undertook a two phased watching brief of the groundworks involved with the development of the area for light industrial use at Hallenbeagle (East and West) near Scorrier between July and November 2012 and October 2013 to February 2014. Hallenbeagle at Scorrier was one of a group of early copper mines in western mid Cornwall which were amongst the earliest to adopt the early steam pumping technology. Mining commencing in the late 17th century and not fully ceasing until the late decades of the 19th century. In 1944, parts of the site were bulldozed by the US Army for a D-Day embarkation camp and over the following decades it became increasingly derelict. Eventually travellers moved onto the site, establishing a sprawling, temporary settlement. Evidence was found for extensive mining activity over the entire area revealing a long and complex history of mining from an initial prospecting phase which probably took place during the late 17th century through phases of exploitation of the lode outcrops utilising both openworks and closely-set outcrop shafts during the 18th century and the culmination of work on site in the form of deep shaft mining utilising steam pumping and winding engine houses during the 19th century. The extent and quality of the archaeological evidence for mining activity on this site that has been recorded is, to date, unique, and for the first time has allowed the evolution of part of Cornwall's mining landscape to be documented and interpreted.
