Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned by Treloweth Concepts Ltd to undertake an archaeological impact assessment of a proposed housing development on West Tolgus Road, Redruth, Cornwall. A desk-based assessment, walkover survey and visual impact assessment were undertaken in May 2016. The results were summarised in a report to the client. The site proposed for the development consists of two former miner's smallholding fields adjacent to the former sites of Wheal Raven and West Wheal Tolgus, copper mines which are documented as having been tried in the 16th and 18th centuries, though were worked in depth during the 19th century. No archaeological features other than the smallholding fields and a remnant earth bank defining the former northern boundary of the smallholding were found within the proposed development area. Documentary maps indicate the site of a now removed linear mine spoil dump, which might indicate the sites of early shallow or surface workings. The visual assessment suggested that there were unlikely to be any negative setting impacts on a group of three Listed mine chimneys a short distance to the east, and that the setting impacts on the surrounding agricultural and post-industrial landscapes would be very limited. It is, recommended that the development should not be extended further to the east in the future as setting impacts on the Listed mine chimneys would rise considerably should this take place. It is also recommended that any ground disturbance associated with the housing development is the subject of a programme of archaeological recording.
