Abstract:		 Three occasions of archaeological watching brief to monitor ground reduction as part of the development of multi-use employment units. Watching briefs covered the excavation of ground for siting an attenuation tank, drainage system and bolt boxes for holding building foundations. Excavations were carried out by machine with toothless grading bucket with individual features cleaned by hand, drawn and photographed. Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) undertook a programme of archaeological monitoring during October to December 2021 on land within Quintrell Downs Business Park, Quintrell Downs, Newquay, Cornwall, centred at NGR SW 84534 60107. A total of four features were identified of which two were thought to be sections of removed historic field or enclosure boundaries. Two features were thought to be tree throws or of natural origin. The two sections of probable removed boundary may be post-medieval in date, although potentially fossilising older boundary lines. One of the features, ditch [6], broadly corresponds with a distinct projection of a historic field boundary recorded on the c1840s St Columb Minor Tithe Map. Ditch [6] may be part of a relict Cornish hedge boundary, potentially respecting an earlier feature. A second feature, boundary [14] does not correspond with any known mapped historic boundary feature but does broadly align with the historic field pattern. Ditch [6] and boundary [14] may be associated with a small farmstead or settlement of post-medieval or earlier date, suggested by the plot name ‘Farmhouse and Garden’ on the c1840s St Columb Minor Tithe Award. There are no obviously surviving buildings recorded within this plot on any available historic mapping, which may indicate a farmstead in, or close to, disuse by c1840.
