Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) was commissioned to monitor the excavation of 23 geotechnical test pits on the site of two proposed developments at Tremough Campus, Penryn. The work has been undertaken in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CAU and approved by Cornwall Council's Senior Development Officer (Archaeology) (SDOA). The proposed development is situated within an area of high archaeological potential, which contains evidence for prehistoric, Roman, and medieval activity. The geotechnical test pits were located in an area where geophysical anomalies have been identified, and is adjacent to excavated sites of prehistoric/Romano-British and early medieval date. No archaeological features were recorded during the project. In general it was possible to say that the topsoil depth was fairly consistent over much of the site, between 0.2m and 0.3m. At the interface between the topsoil and the natural rab a subsoil horizon was present in most areas but was never much thicker than 0.1m. The rab was stonier with larger pieces of granite towards the crest of the hill to the north and became clayier and more stone free downslope to the south and east.
