Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation at land adjacent to Clodgey Lane and Gays Hill, Helston (centred on SW 167 269). This work was carried out to guide further mitigation that might be required to satisfy condition 16 of planning application PA16/00001 for housing development. A total of 29 features were identified of which 27 were ditches and 2 were pits or ditch terminals. Significant features identified include a possible ditched Bronze Age barrow, a further potential barrow was not ditched and no remains were identified, an Iron Age round and annexe, a ditched rectilinear enclosure of unknown date, and the remains of three phases of field systems dating to the Iron Age, medieval and post-medieval periods. Significant finds recovered include Middle Iron Age South West Decorated ware and stone implements from contexts associated with the round and a shard of possibly Roman glass from the topsoil over the round. The remains found range from potentially nationally significant in the case of the barrows and the round and annexe, medium significance in the case of the Iron Age field system, and low significance for the remaining two phases of field system. Options for mitigation include preservation in situ of the barrows and possibly the round and annexe, and preservation by record in the form of excavation (the barrows and the round and annexe), strip map and sample (Iron Age field system and undated enclosure) and watching brief.
