Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned by The Cornwall Wildlife Trust to undertake a geophysical survey across the site of the Scheduled Lower Boscaswell fogou. This work was undertaken in order to inform subsequent investigation and management strategies. The site is located on the western end of the settlement of Lower Boscaswell in the parish of St Just, adjacent to an extant Iron Age probable courtyard house. An underground chamber here was known in antiquarians from at least the 1840s and has been excavated in the 1860s and 1950s. Extending west of the possible fogou was a 'great wall' up to 3.6m wide; this structure may have formed part of the fogou but it was destroyed in the 1960s. The geophysical survey identified several features, including a possible ditch, but most of the survey returned a probable geological response that will have obscured features of archaeological interest, if they are present. No clear anomalies were identified that would correspond to the location and orientation for the fogou, but neither were any anomalies that correspond to removed historic field boundaries visible on the historic mapping.
