Abstract:		 Desk based assesment of an early mining area in advance of housing development. Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned to provide an archaeological desk-based assessment for land at Relistian Lane, Reawla. The archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken as part of a planning condition (PA13/09565) for a new housing development. This report assesses the likely archaeological implications of the development. The development area currently comprises pasture; however, it is located within a historically important early tin mining area dating from the 16th century, with parts being worked as a large openwork, and continuing to be exploited into the 19th century as Relistien Consols Mine. This assessment has shown that the development in the north and east parts of the site will impact on structures including the former site of an engine house, ore processing plants, a possible arsenic calciner and a possible shaft related to the later Relistien Consols Mine. There is also the potential that early (infilled and unrecorded) mining works running along the line of the main lode may also be affected at the west end of the development area. Throughout the entire field there is also the possibility of prehistoric/Romano-British period remains being present below the surface and these may be impacted by the proposed development. Further archaeological work, including, a geophysical survey, evaluation trenching and an archaeological watching brief may be required inform or mitigate these impacts.
