Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) undertook a programme of archaeological mitigation in the form of a watching brief during site works in January and March 2020, at Mitchell in mid Cornwall. A total of 43 contexts were identified of which 11 were cut features. Features included a rectangular stone-walled structure and culvert, plus field ditches and occasional postholes. The structure, its related features, and the culvert are all considered post-medieval in date. The field boundaries have likely medieval origins. Other features may span these broad periods or extend back to the prehistoric period. A total of 295 artefacts were collected, 291 of which were either mixed residual topsoil finds from fields F1 and F2, or mixed late finds from rubble layer (223) in structure 1 (in F2). A further four finds came from three other discrete deposits in F2. Finds include prehistoric flintwork (Mesolithic to Bronze Age); a wide range of pottery from all periods (potentially spanning the Bronze Age through to the 20th century but the vast majority of late post-medieval and modern date), plus small quantities of post-medieval glass and clay pipe and some undated slag and metalwork. All features and finds are considered to be of low to moderate significance. No further work on the archive is anticipated.
