Abstract:		 Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned by Samantha Wagstaff of Quick and Sons Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological recording and investigation during groundworks for the development of twelve dwellings and associated infrastructure on land formerly occupied by a 1960s period warehouse most recently used by the Cornish Paper Company located on land to the north of Wheal Agar (centred at SW 67454 41932), Pool. The western part of the site lies within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, while the southern boundary is bordered by East Pool Mine, a mining complex that is a Scheduled Monument and run as a museum by the National Trust. This work was the subject of planning condition, which required that archaeological recording in the form of a watching brief took place (PA18/05083). The scheme involved the surface stripping of five areas of the site roughly 784m2 in total for the foundations of new buildings and a large attenuation tank that would act as a soakaway for draining the site. No evidence for any archaeology was recorded and no finds were recovered. Some loose concrete blocks (though no extant foundations) were recorded in the northwest corner of plot D that may be the last traces of an outbuilding belonging to the East Pool Mine, Taylors Shaft complex, which was depicted on an OS 6
