Abstract:		 This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring and recording and historic building recording that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a residential development at Nanquidno Vean, St. Just, Cornwall. The historic building recording was undertaken by E. Wapshott in September 2019. The work was undertaken in line with best practice and followed the guidance that is outlined in CIfA’s Standard and Guidance for the Archaeological Investigation and Recording of Standing Buildings or Structures (2014) and Historic England’s Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Processes (2016). The archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken over multiple visits by E. Wapshott and R. Waterhouse in October 2019 and November 2019. The work was undertaken in line with best practice and followed the guidance that is outlined in CIfA’s Standard and Guidance for an Archaeological Watching Brief (2014). All groundworks were performed by hand using picks, mattocks, and shovels due to the tight nature of the internal space and the potential for sensitive buried archaeolgical deposits, and the subsequent demolition and removal of the ruined section was performed by machine using a grading bucket. The desk-based assessment was undertaken by E. Wapshott. The work was undertaken in line with best practice and followed the guidance that is outlined in CIfA'S Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (2014, Revised 2017) and English Heritage's Understanding Place: Historic Area Assessments in a Planning and Development Context (2017). The discussion of setting builds on the approaches that are outlined in the appropriate guidance (DoT Guidance and Historic England 2015). Nanquidno Vean is a small Post Medieval granite cottage within the hamlet of Wesley Cottages and within the farming community at Nanquidno. The programme of works recorded the undesignated cottage which contained some good vernacular features, whilst a further programme of works monitored the demolition of an attached lean-to and the ruined remains of an earlier house and recorded the lifting of the present floor surfaces on the ground floor of the lean-to building. The archaological monitoring and recording confirmed that the ruins to the side of the house constituted another cottage of similar three cell form (two rooms either side of a central passage). This building was lost in the late 19th or early 20th century, however during the 20th century the right-hand room was reworked into a kitchen extension for the upstanding cottage. The cottage is not Listed, however the structure is a good example of a type of vernacular Post Medieval farm workers cottage and it should therefore be considered as an undesignated heritage asset.
