This was the only first-class match to be played at the ground. Cornwall first played there in a friendly against Glamorgan in that same year, while they played their first Minor Counties Championship at the ground in 1904 against Monmouthshire. They played a further fixture there against Devon in that same season, with the ground hosting a single Minor Counties Championship match from 1905 to 1912, when Cornwall played their last fixture there against the Kent Second XI. Long since abandoned for cricketing purposes, it is likely the ground was located in the grounds of Alverton Manor, a likely location for it being in the western grounds of the manor, on two sites, one of which is now covered by housing and the other which is partially open land and partially covered by Truro Magistrates Court.
