Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation trenching was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of a Private Client (the Client) prior to the development of the site for up to five dwellings on Land at High Cross, Enys, Penryn, Cornwall. The work was carried out by Dr. S.H. Walls, MCIfA in March 2023 in accordance with a WSI (Boyd 2023) drawn up in consultation with the Historic Environment and Planning Advice Officer (HEPAO) at Cornwall Council. Four evaluation trenches totalling 75m in length were opened by a machine fitted with a 1.6m wide toothless grading bucket under archaeological supervision. The stratigraphy that was encountered across the site was relatively consistent, with a dark brown silt loam topsoil typically between 0.3-0.45m thick, and this directly overlay a slightly greyish/yellow clay with occasional small sub-angular stones (>60mm diameter). Around the modern garden buildings (Trench 2), the topsoil was much shallower, c.0.1m deep presumably as these (or earlier sheds/greenhouses) had been terraced into the slope slightly. No archaeological features were encountered within any of the trenches, with only modern works (concrete paths, etc.) noted, all cut in and or buried within the topsoil. Finds: A small assemblage of predominantly modern finds were recovered from the site, this included modern glass, plastic and white refined earthenwares. A single sherd of a late medieval coarseware (3g) and two sherds of post-medieval coarseware (5g), suggest a background of agricultural manuring.
