Abstract:		 This archaeological assessment of the old smelting works site in Redruth, for Percy Williams and Sons Ltd was undertaken by the Projects team of Historic Environment, Cornwall Council (HE Projects, CC). The study was designed to gain a better understanding of the impacts which would result from the development of the site for residential use. It was also designed to identify existing historically significant structures within the site so that consideration for retention of these structures could be given as part of the development proposal. The assessment includes the results of a desk-based study and field visit, and follows current planning policies and guidance, relevant extracts from which are provided in the report. The proposed area does not include any Scheduled Monuments (SMs) or Listed Buildings (LBs) but does lie within the World heritage Site for Cornish Mining as part of the Camborne and Redruth Mining District. The extant remains within the site of a former stamping mill, part of a smelter and other buildings associated with a 19th century smelting works has identified the site as a significant part of the World Heritage Site. No other designations exist within the proposed area. On the basis of current knowledge the proposed site includes thirty-six archaeological sites. Many of these sites are extant structures. Those of particular significance and regional importance include the remains of a stamping mill with its associated structures (sites 12-17), the remains of the smelter building and adjoining office (sites 25 and 26), two ancillary building (sites 7 and 9) a WWII air raid shelter (site 18) and the western boundary wall (site 3). There is also potential for the survival of below ground remains including the site of a former stamping mill associated with Wheal Buckets (site 27) and various buildings and structures associated with the former smelting works (sites 16, 12 and 29-33).
