Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit, County Council was commissioned by Mr Jason Jarvis of Lipscomb Jones Architects, on behalf of the landowner, to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation at Chapelfield, St Mabyn, in advance of the proposed construction of 14 houses. The site lies within an area identified as Anciently Enclosed Land on the periphery of St Mabyn, identified in the HER as being a settlement of medieval origin. Geophysical survey by AB Heritage (2016) identified a number of clearly defined linear features, pit-like anomalies and two adjoining enclosures. A programme of evaluative trenching was carried out by CAU, which largely confirmed the survey results. Artefacts recovered show that most of the activity was associated with two enclosures of Romano-British date, and that it is broadly domestic in character. Finds included imported pottery, slate game pieces and a copper alloy brooch. Slightly earlier prehistoric activity is indicated by the presence of occasional worked flint and later (medieval) activity includes a number of the linear field boundaries. This report suggests three different approaches to mitigate for the archaeology and makes recommendations accordingly, including a watching brief and partial or fuller excavation according to the preferred option.
