Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU), Cornwall Council was commissioned by James Field (Economist and Environmental Planner) on behalf of South West Water Ltd (SWW) to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment and watching brief, during the Truro DG5 sewer repair scheme. The purpose of the scheme was to prevent sewer flooding in several western Truro properties by upsizing both foul and surface water sewers and diverting some flow to an existing storm tank. The works were extensive and almost entirely within the public highway. The streets affected were - the lower half of Kenwyn Street, Victoria Square, Dominick Street, Little Castle Street, Frances Street, Ferris Town, the lowest part of Edward Street, Kenwyn Mews and Thomas Johnson Court. The majority of the works required open trenching. Where this was not feasible the new pipes were laid via auger boring, which did not allow for archaeological recording of disturbed deposits. All areas of open trenching were regularly inspected for archaeological deposits, remnant structural remains and artefacts. New archaeological information includes: Evidence for different types of land build-up, Evidence for changes in the course and character of the River Kenwyn, The sealed remains of at least four different river associated deposits, Evidence for the early character of Kenwyn Street as a probable causeway, The remains of potential medieval? structural remains, The remains of post-medieval/modern structures, Possible evidence for the preparation of ground prior to ground build up
