Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out in advance of residential development by AC archaeology in May and June 2017 on land off Bickland Water Road, Falmouth, Cornwall. The development area occupies approximately 2.8 hectares of agricultural land forming a single field on the western edge of Falmouth. The trial trench evaluation comprised the machine excavation of nine trenches totaling 264m in length, with each trench 1.9m wide. The trenches were positioned to target anomalies interpreted from a geophysical survey and to provide sample coverage of the area. The evaluation has exposed the gravel surface and fill of a former post-medieval pond adjacent to a church path. The remaining features are undated ditches and a pit. The ditches probably mark the position of field boundaries that are an extension of a probable late prehistoric field system and settlement identified in previous archaeological evaluation over 350m to the south of the site. No finds of prehistoric date were recovered indicating that the present site was probably very much on the periphery of settlement.
