Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned to undertake a geophysical survey on land off Morwenna Road, Shop, Morwenstow, Cornwall, in advance of the application for planning for the residential development of the site and for related off site analysis and reporting. The site is located across two fields on the north side of Shop, off of Morwenna Road and adjacent to West Beacon Close. As a relatively modern hamlet it is probable that activity on the site is associated with agricultural activity. However, the HER indicates some small settlements and likely activity in the area from the early medieval and medieval periods. A flint scatter on the HER in fields within 500m to the north-east of the site and with other more distant prehistoric features indicates some potential for prehistoric finds, features and deposits in the area. The geophysical survey identified nine groups of historic and undated features across the site including possible pits, potentially medieval boundaries and agricultural features such as plough-scars and drains associated with agricultural activity from the medieval to modern periods. Given the nature of the surrounding landscape it is probable that drainage was and is vital to the use of the land on the site and the majority of the features will be associated with that; either as field drains or having once been open drains. Given the results of this assessment it would appear that any development of the site is unlikely to disturb any significant archaeological deposits.
