Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological excavation that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) in advance of the proposed development of land at Kingsley Village, Penhale, St Enoder, Cornwall. The work was carried out in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (Boyd 2016) that was drawn up in response to a planning condition. The topsoil from an area that measured c.35m x c.35m was removed by a tracked mechanical excavator to the depth of in situ weathered natural using a toothless grading bucket. The exposed archaeological deposits were subsequently excavated by hand. The archaeological evaluation trenching that was undertaken on the site identified an area towards the centre of the site that contained a series of archaeological features and numerous post holes. The archaeological excavation identified a total of 246 features that included: six ditches; two gullies; eight pits; 172 post holes; and 58 stake holes. The majority of the features were undated, however the ditches were prehistoric or medieval in date and the post holes were medieval or post medieval in date. There is documentary evidence that a medieval and later fair was held on the site until c.1800 and many of the post holes are likely to relate to these extremely short-lived but regular bursts of activity. The site is now the most extensively investigated and best preserved example of this poorly understood and ephemeral class of site.
