Abstract:		 In August 2017, Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) was commissioned by Chris Williams of Hydrock to undertake an archaeological watching brief and recording during groundworks in advance of a 40 dwelling housing development to the north of the A30 at Tolvaddon adjacent to Tolvaddon Energy Park. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) covering this project area (Parkes 2017) had identified several features including a pair of miners' smallholdings dating from the later 18th century and possible medieval earthworks marking field boundaries. The development was the subject of Planning Conditions, which required archaeological recording (PA17/06960 and PA16/08453) to be undertaken. Very few archaeological features were recorded within Fields 1, 2, and 3. The oldest feature was a removed field boundary on the eastern side of Field 3 possibly of medieval date. Three land drains were also recorded within Field 3 that may have been linked with ornamental planting associated with the Tehidy Estate in the eighteenth, or nineteenth centuries. The presence of the cess/soakaway pits and rubbish pits centred at SW 66029 42220 within Field 2 helped to confirm the location of a long-demolished miners cottage/small holding that had been identified as site 9 in the HIA (Parkes 2017). Examination and recording of the miners small holding buildings centred at SW 65950 42218 revealed the remains of a pair of small conjoined cottages and an outbuilding constructed prior to 1840 and in use until at least 1946. Following their abandonment these had substantially collapsed and become heavily overgrown. They may originally have been two up two down in layout, though both had been extended to their rears to provide additional accommodation, as was often the case with cottages of this type, few of which now survive unmodified.
