Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and visual impact assessment was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. at Churchtown Farm, Gwithian, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a single wind turbine. The geophysical survey identified a large number of geophysical anomalies near the base of the proposed turbine, which include a sub-ovoid enclosure, relict field boundaries and linears associated with the adjacent Scheduled Monument. The visual impact assessment concluded that the proposed wind turbine will have a substantive visual impact on the immediate area. The turbine will sit high up to the east of the village of Gwithian, overlooking both the village and bay to the west, which includes a significant number of recorded archaeological sites and heritage assets. The adjacent Scheduled Monument will not be affected by the turbine, as it shows only as a crop mark and thus any impact must be assessed as neutral. Further afield, although the turbine will be visible from such places as St. Ives, Camborne and Gwinear, it is at such a distance that any direct impact by the turbine on the settlements and associated heritage assets must be assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate. The high frequency of other wind turbines within the 10km zone - in much less sympathetic locations with regard to heritage assets (Carwin Rise, Trewinnard Manor etc.) - should be considered to lessen the individual impact of the proposed Churchtown Farm turbine. However, issues of cumulative impact must be considered.
