Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was asked to undertake a desk-based cartographic research and walkover survey on land off Castle Drive, Falmouth, Cornwall. The site lies on the headland of Pendennis and within the fortifications that protected the harbour at Falmouth. The site specifically occupies an area that incorporates a number of WWII zig-zag trenches and a modern subterranean fuel depot. Despite place-name evidence harking back to an Iron Age origin for Pendennis, and the extensive evidence of activity during post-Henrician fortification, the historical and cartographic analysis would suggest earlier archaeological deposits on the eastern half of the site would have been destroyed by WWII developments and earlier quarrying. On the eastern half of the site the walkover survey identified the remains of the World War II fuel tanks and associated outbuildings and shelters. No archaeological remains were identified on the western half of the site, largely because most of the area was covered in dense scrub, and the potential here is greater than in the east, despite the fact it would have been kept clear to fulfil its strategic military function as a glacis.
