Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit was instructed by Savills (Southampton) to undertake an archaeological assessment of an area of agricultural land at Tregenna Lane, Camborne proposed for residential use. The work comprised a desk based assessment, walkover survey, viewshed mapping and a geophysical survey. This area near Camborne had been a large area of unenclosed downland until the early 19th century, when it was enclosed by local miner-smallholders. A smallholding was established adjacent to Tregenna Lane, the cottage continuing to be occupied until at least the early 20th century. By 1907, the surrounding landscape sited two rugby grounds, a sports field and a public park. The Tregenna Lane site lies on the boundary between urban Camborne and the agricultural landscape that lies to its west. The smallholders' cottage was demolished some years ago, and its site is now overgrown with mature trees. Its associated fields are a mixture of neglected pasture or in arable use; the sections of the fields fringing Tregenna Lane now site a small number of modern houses. Setting impacts on designated sites and areas were assessed through viewshed mapping out to 2km from the site and by assessment of potentially receptor sites. Given the local topography and the presence of many mature trees and well-vegetated hedgerows within the surrounding area, all impacts were assessed as neutral. The geophysical survey indicated the presence of an underlying fossilised medieval field system as well as removed documented boundaries, but any other sub-surface archaeology was masked by interference from strongly magnetic bedrock
