Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November 2010 on land proposed as the site of Truro Eastern Park and Ride, Cornwall. Thirty trenches, some of which were located on anomalies identified by an earlier geophysical survey, were excavated. The evaluation has identified a number of archaeological features throughout the proposed development area. The earliest artefacts encountered consisted of two flint flakes, of probable Mesolithic or Early Neolithic type, recovered from the basal fill of a pit. A pit, dating to the late prehistoric period, was also identified. A group of four further pits/postholes were also identified in the same trench and may be broadly contemporary. Undated ditches would appear to confirm the presence of a large segmented enclosure identified by the earlier geophysical survey. Three large, undated pits were identified and may relate to quarrying activity. The remaining features encountered across the site correlate closely with the preceding geophysical survey and comprise undated ditches suggestive of multiple phase field systems, some of which pre-date boundaries shown on the first edition OS map.
