Abstract:		 Continuous watching briefs were carried out at the Bolingey Bone Mill and Toad Hall Culvert sites, during vegetation clearance and groundworks carried out in preparation for the trail construction. Vegetation clearance was undertaken by machine using a toothed bucket and shredder, topsoil stripping and ground reduction by machine using a toothless bucket. The topsoil strip was watched either down to the surface of the subsoil or during removal of any overburden and surface debris. The subsoil was not exposed in all cases. No below ground features were identified during the works and no context numbers were issued. No finds were recovered. A photographic record was made of the structural features revealed during the works at both sites. Level 2 Historic Building Records were carried out for Cocks Hill Bridge, Cocks Viaduct, Lighthouse Bridge and Reen Rose Bridge, comprising a photographic record and annotated descriptions using elevation and plan drawings produced by the client where available. A measured survey and digital plan was undertaken of the bone mill leat prior to it being covered over by the new track (see Fig 66). The photographic archive plans produced for each site are reproduced in Appendix 1 (Figs 84-90). These correlate with the photographic archive deposited with ADS. A WSI (see Appendix 2) was produced for the original project, the scope of which was subsequently reduced. The methodologies employed during the fieldwork for the reduced scheme principally remained the same. Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) undertook a programme of archaeological watching briefs and historic building recording during works ahead of the construction of a multi-use trail between Perranporth and Goonhavern as part of the wider Saints Trail Scheme. The watching briefs recorded a section of a post-medieval leat associated with a historic bone mill at Bolingey, of potentially mid to late 19th century or earlier date. Historic boundary walls of probable mid to late 19th century date within the mill site were also recorded. The historic building records documented the construction and design of the various bridges and Cocks Hill Viaduct, illustrating the conformity and style of historic railway architecture and the transition during the early 20th century towards using new technologies and materials, such as shuttered concrete to replace the earlier use of stone, brick and granite.
