Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) undertook a programme of archaeological monitoring during October 2021 to January 2022 on land at Cowlins Mill, Pool, in the parish of Illogan, Cornwall, centred at NGR SW 66955 40730. The site is a former industrial yard with mill constructed over an area of earlier mining waste and lies within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS), WHS Area A5, the Camborne and Redruth Mining District. It has conditional Planning consent for mixed use development. A Heritage Impact Assessment has been carried out previously as a separate project by CAU (Motley 2021). A total of five features were identified, all thought to be disturbed sections of former wall foundations associated with an earlier building, or buildings, on the site. The building remains may be associated with a mine building, or buildings, that formed part of the Tincroft Mine. A stamping mill is documented to have stood on the site and it is possible the features identified during the watching brief are associated with that structure. Very badly truncated and disturbed remains of five probable wall sections constructed of large Killas stones with earth bonding, aligned NW-SE, with two sections appearing to form tow sides of a shared space or structure. Buried within and occasionally below a depth of mining waste, over which were shallow demolition deposits and a subsequent subsoil. Upper levels were associated with modern surfacing from when the site was used for post-war industrial units.
