Abstract:		 This archaeological assessment of a proposed solar farm at Penpoll, in south-east Cornwall, for Wardell Armstrong International 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 or Listed Buildings. The field boundaries within the proposed site are considered 'important' under Hedgerow Regulations. Within the potential viewshed up to 5km from the site three Iron Age or Romano-British hillforts which are all Scheduled Monuments have inter-visibility with the site. A scheduled medieval bridge also lies within the viewshed. The site is also potentially visible from thirty-six of the Listed Buildings within the viewshed. No other designations exist within the proposed area itself. On the basis of current knowledge the proposed site includes or is bordered by nine archaeological sites of particular significance. A geophysical survey of the area has shown both prehistoric and medieval activity of high archaeological significance scattered across the proposal area. The results show that the features are well preserved. Prehistoric features include enclosures, field systems and settlement (round houses). Medieval activity is represented by features associated with a former strip field system, remnants of plough furrows and enclosures.
