Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit was approached by Matthew Brooke, English Heritage Facilities Manager, Buildings, South West in May 2017 with a request for a method statement and associated cost schedule for undertaking an archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) of an area between the southern end of the valley-bottom visitor facilities and the southern end of the café to its east. A water supply pipe serving the visitor centre running through this area has failed and options for its repair or replacement are being considered. The DBA is intended to indicate whether the subsurface archaeology within the area of the pipe run has been so significantly compromised by previous disturbance that a watching brief would not be appropriate during repair/replacement works. The DBA concluded that only a limited amount of archaeological recording had taken place within the area traversed by the pipe, revealing platformed working areas associated with the 18th and 19th century slate trade at Tintagel Haven. This material had incorporated stray early medieval artefacts which have helped to map out the likely extent of post-Roman occupation on the mainland at Tintagel. As the majority of the area has not been archaeologically investigated it was felt that should the water pipe require replacement the opportunity should be taken to further investigate the 19th century industrial remains here and to recover additional post-Roman artefacts through a small-scale archaeological watching brief. It was concluded that repair works to the existing water pipe would not require archaeological oversight or recording.
