Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The results of an archaeological assessment, including a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land at Gratton Field, Five Lanes, Cornwall. The site is located to the west of the village of Five Lanes and south of the medieval and later elements of Altarnun. The desk-based assessment suggests that the site appears to have been part of a single large agricultural field since at least the start of the 19th century. The HER for the local area shows very few assets within the immediate surrounds of the site. The site inspection did not reveal any evidence of earthworks or artefactual material. The geophysical survey identified three groups of possible anomalies that relate to archaeological activity. The majority of the anomalies appear to relate to previous agricultural activity, although there are a small number of discrete features of unknown archaeological origin or date. The site is located c.400m from the village of Altarnun which is a Conservation Area and contains a high number of Listed Buildings and other heritage assets, principle of which is the Parish Church. The church is visible in views from the site, and the proposed development would be visible from the church tower, but would be largely screened in views from the church, churchyard or wider village. Much of this screening is as a result of tree-coverage but the topography would minimise visibility. The development may appear in some more distant views of the Church and Conservation Area, and as such the impact of the development should be considered as negative/minor. Taking into consideration the recorded heritage assets in the wider area, and the results of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the site is low. Based on the results of the walkover and geophysical surveys, further archaeological works on this site are unlikely to add significant additional detail to the archaeological record.
