Abstract:		 Following the acquisition of a parcel of farmland at Treen, St. Levan, the National Trust requested Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council to undertake an archaeological assessment of their enclosed land at this property. During the desk based assessment the sites of a ploughed out barrow, a curvilinear enclosure of probable prehistoric date and elements of a medieval field system were noted. The Cornwall and Scilly HER also recorded the approximate findspot of a Neolithic greenstone axe, and a 'cross' field name. The field survey, undertaken in November 2011 found no earthwork traces of the cropmark barrow, but was able to confirm the survival of evidence for a fossilised medieval field system to the west of Treen settlement. This appeared to overlie a very ploughed down lynchetted field system which is likely to be of Iron Age or Romano-British date. The modern field boundaries were found to be of a variety of construction styles reflecting the evolution of the farmland over time. Whilst many were stone faced earth walls (Cornish hedges), much cloaked in blackthorn and bramble, some examples in the south of the area consisted of parallel lines of granite orthostats (uprights) with earth and stone infill; within the northern part of the area, stone revetted lynchets and earth banks were more typical. The general condition of the holding was judged favourable. A number of small-scale works were identified and some management recommendations were made to ensure the survival of more fragile elements of the holding.
