Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by ISCA Archaeology in May – June 2021 at land at of the project Viaduct Hill, Hayle, Cornwall. A total of 11 trenches were excavated. These trenches were pulled by a JCB with a toothless grading bucket. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken ISCA Archaeology in May – June 2021 at land at of the project Viaduct Hill, Hayle, Cornwall. A total of 11 trenches were excavated. The evaluation trenches were located to target several geophysical anomalies as well as a representative sample of the proposed development area, and in turn identified several archaeological features all located to the northwest corner of the site. These features included a possible circular enclosure, linear ditches and three postholes, all of which were cut into the underlying natural geology and sealed by the subsoil. The undated circular enclosure feature consisted of possibly two shallow, concentric ditches, though one ditch maybe a later field boundary which contained 17th century material. The linear ditches were dated to the medieval period whist the postholes were undated. A large post-medieval quarry pit was also noted in this area. Elsewhere across the site, the evaluation identified several linear ditches and gullies that are likely to represent extant post-medieval field system elements. These later features cut through the subsoil and were sealed by the plough soil. Towards the northern edge of the site, a large circular anomaly was investigated and produced abundant 20th century material. This feature is likely to be an infilled World War II bomb crater or quarry pit
