Abstract:		 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council, was requested by 1 Stop Renewables Ltd in November 2012 to undertake an archaeological assessment of a proposed wind turbine at Ivyleaf Farm, Stratton as part of a proposed planning application. The proposal is for the erection of a single wind turbine with a hub height of 33.2m and a blade tip height of 56.7m with access track and associated engineering works. It is to be sited on farmland at Ivyleaf Farm in Kilkhampton parish at SS 23391 109034. The site chosen for the wind turbines lies on the western slope of a hill overlooking a tributary stream of the River Neet. It is in an area of farmland which has been in continuous use since at least the medieval period. The assessment comprised a desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and a walkover survey of the proposed turbine site, as well as viewshed analysis to 5km and 20km from the site. The closest monuments to the turbine site include a Scheduled round within the neighbouring woods to the northwest. The round would only be impacted upon if the woods/plantations are felled during the lifetime of the turbine. This would also apply to a listed farmhouse at Barnacott, sited 1.25 km away. Herdbury round (another Scheduled Monument) is also only 1km SE from the turbine site. However due to the topography and tree cover, the sites are not intervisible from ground level. Some impacts on the HLC of the landscape surrounding the proposed wind turbine can be expected. By and large the potential impacts on historic sites diminish rapidly the greater the distance from the turbine location, as other hills and tree cover block views.
