Abstract:		 This archaeological assessment of a proposed solar farm at Trevemper, to the east of the village of Crantock near Newquay, Cornwall, for The Green Company (Europe) Ltd. was undertaken by the Projects team of Historic Environment, Cornwall Council. The study was designed to gain a better understanding of the impacts which would result from the solar farm. The proposed area does not include any Scheduled Monuments (SMs) or Listed Buildings (LBs). Within the potential viewshed five Scheduled Monuments have possible inter-visibility with the site. The site is also potentially visible from thirty-four of the Listed Buildings within the viewshed. Not including the results of a geophysical survey, the proposed site includes or is bordered by seven archaeological sites. Those within the proposed area include a footpath/former track and a field system. Those sites adjacent to the area include the medieval settlements of Treringey and Trevemper, Treringey Iron Age/Romano-British round, a medieval cross at Trevemper and the possible site of an Iron Age/Romano-British round. A geophysical survey of the site has shown that there is multi-phase prehistoric and medieval activity of high archaeological significance scattered across most of the proposal area. The earliest features are likely to represent Bronze Age settlement with associated field systems and a funerary monument. Later prehistoric activity is represented by at least two phases of field system associated with unenclosed settlement. Medieval activity is represented by a former strip field system. Overall, the impact on the archaeological resource is assessed as potentially negative/substantial without appropriate mitigation.
