Abstract:		 Between March and April 2010 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council carried out a series of archaeological watching briefs during works on a new water main at Lanhydrock, centred at NGR SX 0850 6360. The works involved the excavation of new mains trenches along with a number of smaller excavations. Individual records for thirteen trenches were created during the watching brief. During the Second World War parts of the park were ploughed up for the war effort. The effects on remains of former field systems and many archaeological features were devastating. A layer of plough soil associated with this was identified in all the trenches in the parkland. The early field boundaries still traceable as earthworks on the surface have been proved to be highly venerable with little surviving below ground. During the course of works no prehistoric features or artefacts were uncovered. The majority of features identified were related to ploughed-out field systems dating from the medieval period through to the post-medieval period. Several former trackways of post-medieval, 19th century and later date were identified. The trenches excavated along both Newton Lane and Cutmadoc Lane revealed that any earlier surfaces or deposits here had been removed and replaced by modern road make-up and surfaces. However, on Cutmadoc Lane at a point where a stream crosses the road, a 19th century lintel-built bridge was exposed. Trenches excavated around Lanhydrock House and in the churchyard were all located within existing service trenches where the majority of archaeological deposits had already been removed.
