Abstract:		 Geophysical survey in advance of development at Penmayne, Rock, identified a series of curvilinear anomalies thought to represent late prehistoric settlement. Targeted evaluation trenching revealed three ring gullies associated with roundhouses of probable Middle Iron Age date. Three smaller structures superimposed upon the ring gullies indicated a later phase of Iron Age settlement. The work also discovered an Early Neolithic pit, associated with sherds of carinated bowl pottery and providing two radiocarbon dates in the mid-fourth millennium cal BC. The investigation has added further information about the character of Early Neolithic occupation in north Cornwall and is particularly important for providing close dating for carinated bowl pottery in the south west. A third determination of 380-190 cal BC came from a hearth associated with a small assemblage of broadly Middle Iron Age pottery. The archaeological recording has provided another late prehistoric unenclosed settlement site for comparison with others in lowland Cornwall.
