Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A desk-based assessment, walkover survey, geophysical survey and visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Pengelly Farm, St Breock, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a single 500kw wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be located in one of the fields belonging to the medieval settlement of Pengelly, probably an adjunct of the more important settlement at Trevorder. These settlements appear to have been surrounded by their own small common field system. The proposed turbine is to be located on the slopes of a hill spur above a tributary of the River Camel. The proposed turbine would be a prominent new feature in this landscape, but while there are a relatively large number of Listed buildings and Scheduled monuments in this area, in most instances the heritage assets most likely to be affected are those where the wider setting is least important to their perceived value. The most difficult issue to address is that of Wadebridge itself. The turbine should be highly visible on the hillside overlooking the town, but the Listed and Scheduled structures within the town enjoy extensive local blocking from each other and other non-designated structures. In addition, very few of those buildings derive their meaning and value from the wider setting. Therefore the impact on individual designated structures is minimal, but the aesthetic impact on the town as a whole would be greater. Most of the buildings and monuments considered are insulated from the potential impact of the proposed turbine by a combination of local blocking, topography and (seasonally variable) vegetation. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed turbine can be assessed as negative/moderate, on the basis that while no single monument or building is affected to a significant degree, it would be located in a prominent location and erode the distinctiveness of its historic landscape.
