Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) during groundworks associated with the proposed construction of industrial; commercial units on land south of Bosnoweth, Clodgey Lane, Helston, Cornwall. The work was carried out by J. Bampton between the 11th and 18th of May 2018 in accordance with a WSI (Balmond 2018) drawn up in consultation with Sean Taylor, Senior Development Officer, Historic Environment, Cornwall Council (SDOHE). The site is located across a field off Clodgey Lane, immediately south of the A394, opposite a residential estate on the south-east edge of Helston. The soils of this area are the well drained fine loamy soils of the Denbigh 2 Association (SSEW 1983), overlying the slate and siltstone of the Mylor Slate Formation (BGS 2016). The site was at a height of between 60m and 65m AOD. The Cornwall Historic Landscape Characterisation characterises the site as post-medieval enclosed land, likely to have formerly been upland rough ground, surrounded by Medieval farmland. The Cornwall and Scilly HER does not record any archaeological features on the site itself however it is located near the medieval settlement of Tresprison, which was first documented in 1304 (HER No.30243). There is speculative evidence from cropmarks for prehistoric activity in the area of the site with a number of prehistoric pits, field boundary and possible rounds located immediately east of the site (HER Nos.51936, 51937, 51938). An archaeological assessment of the site was carried out by CAU in 2001 that identified a high potential for prehistoric activity. Evaluation trenching encountered one fragment of later medieval pottery and a ditch feature within the area of the proposed development, approximately 1m wide. The eastern part of the proposed site was recorded as heavily disturbed by machinery and no finds were encountered in this area.
