Abstract:		 The results of an archaeological assessment and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land at Lynher Close, North Hill, Launceston, Cornwall. The site is located to the north-west of the historic core of the village, and adjacent to 20th century housing. The desk-based appraisal would suggest the site had been part of a single large agricultural field until the mid 19th century. Between the mid and later 19th century the field was subdivided, with the western half used as allotment gardens. The HER for the local area shows relatively few assets in close proximity; there is a Grade I church and other Listed buildings in the village. The site inspection noted a possible trackway along the south-eastern boundary of the site but no other evidence of earthworks or artefactual material. The geophysical survey identified seven groups of probable and possible anomalies that relate to activity within the site. There are a number of positive and negative features that may relate to previous boundaries, as well as two positive features possibly representing relict field ditches. Most of the features identified are of unknown archaeological origin or date, though some may relate to the allotments and gardens depicted on historic Ordnance Survey maps. Despite the proximity of designated heritage assets, and the location of this site within Anciently Enclosed Land, the geophysical survey would suggest the archaeological potential of this site is medium. However, all of the anomalies identified are orientated parallel or perpendicular to the historic field boundaries, and are likely to be relatively recent in date.
