Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A desk-based assessment, visual impact assessment and evaluation trial trenching was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. in order to investigate and record any archaeological features and material potentially affected by the proposed installation of a wind turbine on the site and to inform the future planning application for the same. The impact of the proposed wind turbine on the setting of nearby heritage assets was assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate. While the site lies within 'Anciently Enclosed Land', the large rectangular fields and central farmstead suggest Smeathers was a post-medieval foundation. The documentary evidence, however, indicates Smeathers has been occupied since at least 1477, and that would indicate the layout of the farm has been rationalised, probably in the 18th century. The geophysical survey located part of an earlier fieldsystem and a 'round' identified from aerial photographs. The trial trenching failed to produce any dating evidence for the fieldsystem, but this may be medieval in date. The 'round' produced two sherds of late or post-medieval pottery, indicating it is actually the site of a medieval farmstead, perhaps a cottage at Poldaw, mentioned in 1760. The proposed construction of the turbine will have minimal impact on the farmstead, and slight impact on the buried fieldsystem.
