Abstract:		 St Piran's Oratory, Perranzabuloe, Cornwall, is an iconic Cornish site of probable early medieval date, covered by a concrete shell since 1910 and buried beneath a sand mound since 1980. Work undertaken in 2009-10 comprised a survey of the Oratory mound and its surrounding landscape, followed by targeted evaluation trenching. The aim of the project has been to gain a better understanding of the condition of the concrete block structure and the monument - in particular the likelihood that the buried remains are waterlogged and to establish and assess the feasibility of drainage. This information is required in order to inform a HLF bid proposal to be prepared by St Piran's Trust for excavation of the monument, returning the oratory to its condition prior to being rediscovered in the 18th century. The work was carried out by Historic Environment, Cornwall Council, with the assistance of members of St Piran's Trust and was funded by Cornwall's Scheduled Monument Management Project.
