Abstract:		 This report presents the results of archaeological evaluation trenching carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Land South of Grampound Road, Probus, Cornwall. Eight archaeological features were identified: six ditches (one with probable recuts) and two possible features, these being either pits, large postholes, or perhaps tree-throws. In addition, other natural features were also identified, including at least three further tree-throws. Two of the ditches were quite substantial, only c.1.2m wide but up to 0.8m deep with very steep sides. The fills of these features was clean with a noted absence of charcoal. No finds were recovered from the site. The absence of finds, and the clean nature of the fills, would suggest that the site was remote from contemporary settlements and areas of activity, and the features are interpreted as agricultural field boundaries, albeit quite substantial ones. In the absence of dating material, given the fills and the proximity of the cropmarks to the south, it is most likely that these field boundaries are Prehistoric and/or Romano-British in date. The possible recuts in ditch [107] would suggest that this field boundary was maintained for some time. In relation to the issues that were raised by the HEP Arch on trenches 1 and 2, a watching brief should be carried out in these areas during groundworks.
