Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake an archaeological assessment for Carrick House, Pydar Street, Truro, Cornwall. This work was undertaken in order to set the building and surrounding land in its historical and archaeological context. Although the site lies within the medieval core of Truro, development from the middle of the 20th century onwards has systematically removed all historic structures and above-ground remains associated with the medieval burgage plots and post-medieval buildings and development of this area of Truro. If the scale of the groundworks involved in the clearance of the buildings and the development of the road which runs adjacent was similar in nature to that identified in the immediate vicinity, then it is probable that most, if not all, below ground remains have been truncated. There is a low chance that some remains of St. Mary's Workhouse may remain to the east of Block D of Carrick House as the depth of any groundworks outside of the footprint of the building are unknown. Therefore while the archaeological potential for the site was formerly very high, the likelihood of surviving remains across the site is low. The significance of the area, due to its history as the planned area of burgage plot settlement along the main route into Truro and its proximity to the castle during the medieval period, as well as the post medieval history associated with institutional buildings such as the almshouses, workhouse and hospital, remains unchanged, but all visual cues have been removed, with the most historic surviving structure being the railway viaduct to the north of the site.
