Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation and for related off-site analysis and reporting on land west of Penwinnick Close, St Agnes, Cornwall. The work was informed by a geophysical survey conducted by SWARCH and will inform potential future development. The site is situated across a field at the western end of Penwinnick Close in the south-west of the village of St Agnes, in the parish of the same. The site is situated on agricultural land associated with medieval farmsteads in a prolific mining district. The results of the trench evaluation fully validate the results of the geophysical survey and the majority of the geophysical anomalies were clearly identified in the trenches or accounted for by geological variation. Post-medieval and modern platforms were present in the south-east of the site and west of the site. Post-medieval boundaries and ditches were identified across the site and undated discrete features that may be of natural origin and have been severely truncated were also identified. A prehistoric ditch and possibly associated undated ditch were also present. There was no surviving evidence for prehistoric domestic settlement. The truncation of features by ploughing was also clearly evident and the survival of shallow archaeological features on the site is very unlikely. The proposed development of an extension to the cemetery, housing and associated infrastructure is unlikely to have any significant archaeological implication due the sever truncation which is evidenced across much of the site. Therefore all shallow features on the site are likely to have been destroyed, and although remnants of fields system ditches survive, some of which are prehistoric, even these have been severely damaged by ploughing. No further archaeological work is recommended in relation to this development.
