A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at East Taphouse, Cornwall (centred on NGR 218000, 063280). The project was commissioned by Halsall Construction Limited with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application for the residential development of the site. The survey area comprises an arable field located immediately to the west of the village of East Taphouse, covering an area of 0.8ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 16th April 2015. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of potential archaeological interest. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest are primarily linear responses interpreted as ditch features. These are likely to represent former field boundaries or trackways however the small scale of the survey area means that it is difficult to place these features in their wider context.
