Abstract:		 There are a small number of prehistoric and Roman artefact findspots recorded along the coast, however the area was only sparsely occupied in the Roman period. There are no post-Roman sites recorded in the vicinity, although it is likely that modern villages originated as small farmsteads in this period. There are documentary records of a small chapel at Higher Tregantle Farm less than 200m from the site; the base of a 13th century stone cross remains at the modern farm. Agriculture has dominated the Rame Peninsula throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods, with tourism becoming a growing source of revenue in the 20th century. A geophysical survey of the site identified a concentration of potential archaeological anomalies in the north-western field of the development, with two potential enclosures on the northern boundary flanked by linear anomalies indicating a multi-phase field system. This field system appears to extend into the eastern and southern areas of the site. The evaluation encountered linear features correlating to two enclosures in the north-western field, with further linear features to the south and west. No internal features were detected within these enclosures. A series of linear features were also excavated close to the north boundary of the southern field, but it is unclear how these relate to the features to the north-west. No finds or dating evidence were recovered from any features.
