Abstract:		 Historic Environment Service, Cornwall County Council were commissioned by Carrilion (the Principal Contractors) on behalf of Cornwall County Council, to undertake a programme of archaeological recording in advance of the construction of playing fields and a new school building at Penryn College, Penryn, Cornwall. Evaluation of the area thought to have the greatest potential for buried archaeological remains was carried out with a series of machine-dug trenches. Discovery of features of both Late Neolithic and Iron Age/Romano-British date resulted in a larger area being stripped under archaeological supervision. A small group of pits were identified which are likely to have Grooved Ware associations and date to the Late Neolithic period (c 2500 cal BC). Concentration on the highest area of the site thought to have been the least disturbed revealed curvilinear ditches and structural postholes associated with artefacts thought to represent Iron Age or Romano-British enclosed settlement.
