Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong were commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief during initial excavations undertaken in advance of the construction of a new hotel with car parking on a plot of land at Bodieve Business Park, Wadebridge. Following on from a heritage impact assessment (wardella2-274371), Phil Copleston of Cornwall Historic Environment Planning, at Cornwall County Council, issued a requirement for an archaeological watching brief to be undertaken during the groundworks. The archaeological watching brief, undertaken between Wednesday 14th and Friday 16th June 2017, monitored the ground reduction of the site, in preparation for the construction of a new building. A fragmentary slate bedrock was revealed, overlain in areas by a maximum of 0.25m of mid grey-brown silty topsoil. A dry-stone wall, running along the south-eastern extent of the ground reduction area, which must pre-date 1881, was noted, with the earlier road alignment to the south-east, and these were not affected during groundworks undertaken during the archaeological monitoring phase. No evidence for past human activity was encountered during the excavations, with much of the site retaining evidence of recent remediation, only the far south-eastern boundary and north-eastern area retaining topsoil and not having been previously truncated and levelled. It is likely that this remediation occurred in conjunction with the development of the adjacent site to the north-west, c. 2009.
