Abstract:		 Historic Environment Projects undertook a programme of archaeological mitigation during the construction of an 11Mw solar farm at Pennare Farm, St. Allen, 5km to the north of Truro, Cornwall. This work was carried out to fulfil a planning condition on the development. The site had been the subject of an assessment and geophysical survey, the latter having identified what appeared to be settlements and ditches and a trackway belonging to an underlying field system pre-dating the extant field system. The fieldwork took the form of evaluation trenching over features identified by the geophysical survey prior to the construction phase of the project. During the construction phase a watching brief was also undertaken. Both phases of work confirmed that at least some of the anomalies represented field ditches thought to be of late prehistoric or Roman origin. This included a large ditch thought to represent a major land division. The presence of the trackway was also confirmed. Few artefacts were recovered during the works but these did include a Neolithic greenstone axe and a slate spindle whorl, probably of later prehistoric or Roman date. Recommendations include submitting the greenstone axe for petrological examination and obtaining a radiocarbon date from material recovered from the land division. It is further recommended that the results from these analyses should be published as a short article in Cornish Archaeology.
