Abstract:		 The fieldwork watching brief followed the methodology laid out within the WSI (ISCA 2021). An archaeologist was present during all intrusive works, comprising the observation of all below ground works, including ground reduction and service trenching An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by ISCA Archaeology between June and October 2021 at South Crofty Mine, Pool, Redruth, Cornwall during groundworks associated with the development of land for a builder’s merchants, including storage, distribution, trade counter, offices, and ancillary retail sales. The development area was in an area of open, partial scrub land which did not contain any upstanding structures. The watching brief observed all below ground works, including ground reduction and service trenching. No previous structures or former mine shafts were noted. Most of the observed areas had been heavily disturbed and contained waste mining up-cast material or other modern disturbances. Several potential mine shafts were recorded as being within the footprint of the new development site, but none were observed. This is potentially due to the deep depths of the overlying overburden and the shallow nature of the ground reduction in some areas. The possibility is some shafts may remain below the made ground.
