Abstract:		 In Spring 2012 Historic Environment Projects undertook a watching brief along the route of a new multi-use trail. The route of the trail starts at SW 99805 41831 and runs broadly south-eastwards, following field boundaries within agricultural land, to SX 00514 41774. The majority of the scheme did not involve penetration to depths at which archaeological features were visible but where this did occur the project identified a number of cut features the majority of which were field divisions of medieval and post medieval date. Finds from the project were limited but an artefact of interest was recovered from one of the field divisions: an inscribed slate bearing the traces of at least four arcs of circles two of which are lightly incised, and two slightly deeper. The slate had been reused as roofing material, probably in the late medieval or early post medieval period and the earlier markings probably date to the medieval period. Three field boundary sections were recorded where the scheme required their breaching. Evidence of earlier phases of hedge building and buried soils beneath them were identified in some of the boundaries. One of the boundaries had been aligned to take in a massive earthfast boulder. Beyond the footprint of the scheme two stone monoliths were identified in addition to one already recorded in the Cornwall and Scilly HBSMR. It wasn't possible to determine whether these were prehistoric standing stones or post medieval livestock rubbing stones but the evidence seems to point towards the former.
