Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned by Abraham Simpson of Kingsley Real Estate Ltd. (the Client) to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Crantock, Cornwall, as part of the pre-application requirements of a proposed development. This work was informed by an earlier desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and heritage impact assessment and was undertaken in accordance with an agreed Project Design and CIfA guidelines. The archaeological evaluation validated the results of the geophysical survey (SWARCH 2017), identifying and investigating archaeological features across the site that corresponded with geophysical anomalies. It located part of a probable Prehistoric field system that extends across the field to the east. It also revealed two undated ditches: one probably associated with the existing field system; and the other possibly Prehistoric or later. A post-medieval ring-ditch, the purpose of which is unclear, was also identified. The south-west of the site appeared to be devoid of any significant archaeological deposits. It may be of note that the south-east corner of the site is at a comparable height above sea level to the adjacent Beaker features to the east, which overlook the estuary of the River Gannel and Pentire Head. Although the finds across the site were very limited, residual finds indicated a broad time span for activity on or near the site. Prehistoric activity from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age was represented by struck flint, Iron Age activity was represented by tiny scraps of pottery, medieval pottery was recovered from the subsoil. The general paucity of post-medieval finds from the topsoil would suggest limited manuring, despite the proximity of the village.
