Abstract:		 HE Projects, Cornwall Council, was commissioned by Mansell to undertake archaeological monitoring during groundwork in advance of the construction of affordable dwellings at Higher Polsue Way, Tresillian (centred at SW 86492 46423). Prior to the archaeological fieldwork commencing, a geophysical survey of the area had been carried out (Stratascan 2010), which identified a small number of linear anomalies and pit-type responses, some of which may have been of an archaeological nature. The fieldwork succeeded in locating most of the geophysical anomalies. One linear feature was identified as a couple of parallel ditches the character of which suggests that they were originally associated with a field boundary or hedge, the bank element having been removed. No archaeological dating evidence was obtained from these ditches. This boundary does not appear on either the 1840s tithe map or the 1880 OS map but it is probably of earlier post-medieval origin perhaps associated with the farm at Polsue Manor. The large pit-type anomalies observed on the geophysical survey were found to be of geological origin, being natural hollows formed by the weathering of softer bands of clay and shillet within solid slate bedrock. Two isolated shallow pits filled with charcoal that had not been identified by the geophysics were also recorded but again these were undated. No other features of archaeological interest were recorded over the area of the site and the development had very little or no impact on any significant buried remains.
