Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by China Sunergy (Nanjing) Co Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of a solar PV array on land at Higher Tregarne, Falmouth. The watching brief was undertaken in February and March 2013. Though the areas available for observation were limited in their extent the watching brief generally confirmed the data obtained from a geophysical survey of the site. This did not suggest major archaeological activity but had identified some possible stock enclosures, boundaries and track-ways. One of the possible stock enclosures in the south-eastern part of the central field was investigated and found to consist of a double linear, probably composed of hedgerows. A possible related pothole was also found. Though a struck flint was found within one of the ditches, these features are likely to relate to late medieval or post-medieval agriculture. A north-west - south-east aligned feature, identified on the geophysical survey as a possible track-way or boundary ditch, was found to be a relatively shallow concave ditch. This remained undated though as it could be seen to cut the current subsoil, it is likely to be of relatively modern date. The relative absence of artefactual material, even within the topsoil and subsoil would seem to argue against any intensive activity or occupation in the vicinity
