Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by China Sunergy (Nanjing) Co Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of a solar PV array on land at Causilgey, Tregavethan, Truro. The watching brief was undertaken in February and March 2013. Though the areas available for observation were limited in their extent the watching brief generally confirmed the data obtained from the previous geophysical survey. This revealed what appeared to be two or three distinct phases of field patterns in addition to other more defined areas of activity. This watching brief was able to excavate two of these field patterns. One which corresponded to former field boundaries visible on 18th and 19th century mapping was shown to be composed of generally shallow, concave ditches. The slightly more north-north-west aligned field pattern was found to correspond with slightly more substantial and generally more 'V'-shaped ditches. Although this field system must clearly pre-date the 18th century boundaries no dating evidence was obtained during this watching brief. Ditches identified in the western field (Field A) are seen on the geophysical survey to correspond with features that do not necessary fit into the two most distinct field systems. However they were also undated and so their relative phasing could not be established. In many of the areas of stripping the depth of impact was still within the ploughsoil and so the presence or absence of any archaeological features still remains untested though the absence of artefactual material, even within the ploughsoil would seem to argue against any intensive activity or occupation in the vicinity
