Abstract:		 The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land off Tregenna Fields, Camborne, Cornwall. The site is located on the south-western edge of the town. Historic sources and the HER indicate that the site is located within a landscape of medieval and post-medieval mining and agriculture. The surrounding landscape shows signs of medieval and post-medieval subdivision. The geophysical survey identified a series of anomalies across the site, including: linear bank and ditch features probably relating to historic (medieval? and post-medieval) field systems; discrete ovoid features associated with either pits or tree-throws; a spread of probable building demolition material; and a mixed anomaly which may represent mineral prospection or recent ground disturbance. The removed historic field boundaries crossing the site follow the alignments of boundaries lost since 1840 and it is likely that they correspond to these features; however, they are not fully congruent and it is possible that they reflect boundaries removed in the earlier 19th century. The remains of a 20th century concrete-block structure stand towards the south-west corner of the site, and it is likely that the spread of material surrounding it represents either the creation of the levelled platform on which it stands, or the spread of waste material associated with partial demolition. To the north-west corner, the large pits and an area of strong mixed responses are highly likely to be lodeback mineral prospection pits associated with South Wheal Seton and Wheal Frances. On the basis of the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the site is low to moderate, containing only features likely associated with the post-medieval mining activity and post-medieval field boundaries. However, the site is only just beyond the boundary of the WHS, and might be accorded greater significance on that basis
