Abstract:		 The results of archaeological monitoring and recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. during evaluation trenching on land south-east of Pennygillam Industrial Estate, Link Road, Launceston, Cornwall. The site is located in an area of known archaeological potential with prehistoric and medieval activity identified in the wider landscape. A previous phase of geophysical survey identified features of possible prehistoric, medieval and/or post-medieval origin. The evaluation identified a total of 36 features and broadly validated the results of the geophysical survey. Most of the features did not produce any dating material, those that did containing post-medieval or residual medieval artefacts; with medieval and post-medieval artefacts recovered from the topsoil. The majority of the features are likely to represent changing field-systems, some of which may have prehistoric origins, though the majority are likely medieval and post-medieval in origin. The shallow nature and poor condition of the majority of the identified features is likely to continue across the site; and those feature that survived to a greater depth and in better condition all formed removed parts of the current field-system. The evaluation has confirmed that the site represents part of the wider medieval and post-medieval agricultural landscape, the archaeological features largely reflecting the division and drainage of the land; and the archaeological potential for the site is low. Further archaeological mitigation of the evaluated area is not recommended in this instance as it is unlikely to produce additional information of archaeological value.
