Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at The Premier Inn, Helston Business Park, Helston, Cornwall (centred on NGR 167050, 27400). The project was commissioned by Walsingham Planning, on behalf of Whitbread Group Plc., with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application for the extension of the Premier Inn. The site covers an area of 1.2 ha, of which it was only possible to survey 0.32 ha due to on site conditions. The survey extents were constrained due to the current land use of the site which comprises a small arable field that was surveyed, alongside the current extent of the Premier Inn hotel and car park. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 20th to the 21st January 2016 and has identified a few anomalies of potential archaeological interest. The strong readings of a modern service running north-south dominate the central portion of the results. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest are primarily pit- and ditch-like features which can be seen across the site along with some areas of increased magnetic response. These features may be associated with potential prehistoric pits identified from aerial photographs and located at the southern end of the site, beneath the existing hotel and car park.
