Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and heritage impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land to the rear of the Packhorse Inn, St Blazey, Cornwall. This work was undertaken in support of a planning application. The site is located in the modern civil parish of St Blaise, to the immediate west of the historic town square. The proposed development would be located on land immediately to the rear (west) of the 19th century Packhorse Inn public house. There are documentary references to St. Blazey from the 12th century onwards, referring to the settlement as Landrait and reflecting the existence of a medieval 'lann' and early chapel. The existing church is 15th century, though largely restored in the 19th century; and serves as the focus for the current settlement of St Blazey, In the early 19th century St Blazey and surrounding settlements expanded as a result of, and along the turnpike road, associated with the industrial development of the area. The walkover survey identified that the site is currently heavily overgrown and is not suitable for geophysical survey. However, the site is located in close proximity to the 15th century church, which is likely to have been built on earlier origins, and as such there is the potential for medieval and earlier activity to be represented within the site. Without the benefit of geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the site is unproven, and any development would have a major impact on any surviving below ground remains.
