Abstract:		 Fieldwork commenced with the removal of topsoil and subsoil from the excavation area by mechanical excavator with a toothless grading bucket under archaeological supervision. The original project design specified in the WSI (CA 2016a) stipulated that an area of c.0.3h on the eastern side of the site was to be the subject of a strip, map and sample investigation and the rest of the site subjected to a watching brief where the development required groundworks. However, at the suggestion of the developer and the agreement of Sean Taylor, archaeological advisor to the LPA, most of the site (approximately 0.6h) was stripped and mapped, and archaeological features were sampled according to the sampling strategy set out in the WSI (CA 2016a). A programme of archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2016 at the request of Kier Living Ltd. at Hendra Road, Stithians, Cornwall. In compliance with an approved WSI (CA 2016a), c.0.6h was excavated across the development area. The excavation revealed evidence for limited Mesolithic to Early Neolithic activity comprising two flint tools, one from an undated feature and one from a post-medieval ditch and a single sherd of pottery from an undated pit. Evidence was found for Middle to Late Bronze Age funerary activity in the form of the cremation grave of a single, probably older, adult individual, radiocarbon dated to 1502–1393 cal BC (94.0%), 1334-1326 cal BC (1.4%) at 95.4% probability (SUERC-69739). Possible occupation evidence from this period comprised two enigmatic ditches containing Middle to Late Bronze Age pottery. Evidence for medieval/post-medieval activity comprised a field-system, including a hollow-way along with a quarry pit and parts of two sub-rectangular ditches, which may have enclosed a settlement that would have been outside the excavation area. An undated possible post-built structure, which cut one of the Middle to Late Bronze Age ditches, may also have belonged to the medieval/post-medieval period.
