Abstract:		 The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land off Thornton Close, Roche, St Austell, Cornwall. The site is located on the north-western edge of the village of Roche. Historic sources and the HER indicate that the site is located within a landscape of Prehistoric funerary monuments, medieval and post-medieval settlement and agriculture, and post-medieval mining activity. The geophysical survey identified a series of anomalies across the site, including features likely to be associated with historic fieldsystems and agricultural activity and a series of discrete ovoid features associated with either pits or tree-throws. The two removed historic field boundaries crossing the site do not conform to the expected double-ditch with bank anomalies that are normally associated with removed Cornish hedgebanks; their responses are more indicative of linear strips of disturbed ground, likely to be the result of their being removed/backfilled in a single episode during later 20th century. The remaining anomalies are all likely to represent historic episodes of agricultural activity, and may include surviving remnants of strip-field divisions and/or plough ridges. On the basis of the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the site is deemed to be low, and containing only features likely to be associated with medieval and post-medieval agricultural activity.
