Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) was contacted by Amanda Turner of the National Trust, Exeter, with a request for a method statement and archaeological watching brief to be undertaken at Cot Valley Lodge (now renamed Porth Nanven House), St. Just in Penwith, Cornwall, during the installation of a replacement septic tank and associated pipework trenching. The property is privately owned, but is subject to National Trust covenants. It is entirely surrounded by land owned and managed by the National Trust and the sewer trench will cross a section of land owned by the National Trust. The work has been requested by Mr. Jim Parry, the National Trust Regional Archaeologist, who supplied a brief to guide the work to be undertaken on site. The adjacent area of the Cot Valley to the south of St. Just in Penwith is traversed by a number of tin lodes which are known to have been worked since at least the late medieval period. Documentary information suggests that this area lay within the post-medieval mining sett called the Reens; a chance find of a probably medieval hand-held mortar stone at the eastern end of the area traversed by the sewer trench some years ago confirms the early date of these workings. The watching brief was undertaken in early January 2018. The only feature revealed consisted of the wall foundations of a documented yard. No artefacts were recovered.
