Abstract:		 The results of archaeological monitoring and recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. during evaluation trenching at Newton Farm, Stourscombe, Launceston, Cornwall. The site is located in an area of known archaeological potential with prehistoric and medieval activity identified in the wider landscape; and early medieval smithing activity identified in the adjacent fields. A previous phase of geophysical survey identified features of possible prehistoric, medieval and/or post-medieval origin. The north-western part of the site, containing an enclosure with internal features identified by the geophysical survey, was dated by the presence of Upper Greensand derived (UGS) pottery to the Saxo-Norman period. Within the enclosure a series of postholes, stakeholes and pits were excavated. Some of the features had been subject to heating, and a small amount of slag and fired clay/furnace lining was recovered. The site immediately to the west also produced UGS pottery and evidence for metalworking, suggesting these sites might have a specialist function. The proximity of Launceston Castle may be significant in this respect. Rural sites of this date in east Cornwall/west Devon are exceedingly rare, and certainly of regional importance.
