Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological recording in advance of development of land at Lantoom Quarry, Liskeard as part of the expansion of the quarry. This was in response to a planning condition (PA12/00673). An area measuring roughly 70m x 50m (0.35Ha) centred at SX 22607 64775 was subjected to a controlled topsoil strip with an archaeologist being in attendance to record any features which were exposed during the ground disturbance. Classified as Anciently Enclosed Land (Medieval Farmland HLC Sub-Type; land mainly enclosed and farmed from the medieval period) The site had the potential for the preservation of buried archaeological material to survive in the project area. Features had been previously identified within the study area by a geophysical survey (Stratscan 2011). A single pit, Pit [5] may be the earliest feature encountered. Similar pits containing burnt quartz and charcoal found elsewhere in Cornwall have been dated from the Mesolithic to the Late Bronze Age . Two ditches [1] and [3] formed part of field boundaries that originally subdivided the large field that is seen today into smaller rectilinear fields. The field boundaries that these ditches mark were probably of medieval or post-medieval origin and survived as features in the landscape until at least 1946. No other features of archaeological interest were seen over the area of the site, and no artefacts were collected. The development in this area had very little or no impact on any significant buried remains apart from those noted above.
