Abstract:		 The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH for land off Dutson Road, Launceston, Cornwall. The site is located off the A388 Dutson Road, on a south-west facing on the outskirts of the town of Launceston. The site is situated in a landscape with based upon medieval field patterns and settlement, though with prehistoric origins, and post-medieval industrial activity. It comprises four fields, of which three were subject to archaeological geophysical survey. Cartographic assessment suggests that the current field boundaries and usage have change little since the early 19th century. Development of the land would have limited impact on many of the designated assets in the surrounding landscape, though the impact on Launceston Castle and St Mary Magdalene's Church would be negligible to negative/minor. The geophysical survey identified a series of anomalies across the site including: linear bank and ditch features; and shallow possible ditch features which, given their alignment can be seen to match various elements of the existing field-systems, and indicates that they likely reflect earlier phases of the same field-systems. Further features appear to indicate different styles and episodes of agricultural activity; whilst some discrete features of unknown origin or date are also present within the site.
