Abstract:		 The proposed development at Treswithian lies on the west side of Camborne approximately 0.4km south of Treswithian at NGR SW 63655 39820. The area comprises two fields and covers an area of approximately 5.5 hectares. Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council were commissioned by Mr Tony Strike of PBWC Ltd to carry out an archaeological assessment to support the planning application for the proposed development. A total of 24 sites were identified during the desk-based assessment within and in close proximity to the development area. Included in these are sites associated with Crane and Bejawsa Mine which forms part of the World Heritage Site for Cornish Mining. Two of the identified sites were classed as sites of National Importance (sites 18 and 22), seven sites were classed as sites of Regional Importance (sites 1, 3, 16, 16a, 17, 20, and 21) and the rest were classed as sites of Local Importance. Archaeological sites identified during the assessment within the proposed development include a post-medieval settlement site (site 1) and associated features such as tracks and field boundaries (sites 2 and 5-13) along with 19th century mining features including the site of an engine house (site 16a) and two mine shafts (sites 3 and 14). Archaeological sites identified adjacent to the to the proposed development area include an Iron Age/Romano-British round (site 22) and finds spots of both Iron Age and Neolithic date (site 17). These are of particular significance and may indicate the presence other related activity such as unenclosed settlement and field systems nearby and possibly within the assessment area itself. The site is also surrounded by medieval settlements (sites 18, 20 and 21) which suggest the likelihood of the remains of medieval field systems within the assessment area.
