Abstract:		 Proposals have been made for the development of a solar farm at Callestick (Four Burrows). An archaeological assessment of the site was made in 2010. In view of the presence of a scheduled bronze age barrow in the north-eastern corner of the site, the Cornwall Council's Historic Environment Planning Advice Officer requested that the field within which it is sited be subjected to magnetometer survey to determine the presence or absence of any detectable sub-surface archaeology. Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council was commissioned to undertake a re-assessment of the site, drawing together the results of the 2010 assessment and the geophysical survey of the north-eastern field undertaken in late 2011 by Archaeophysica Ltd. The 2011 geophysical survey did not confirm the existence of cropmark features plotted by the NMP, though did reveal a series of rather fragmentary linear features, together with a probable barrow defined by a ring ditch adjacent to the field's north-eastern boundary and another possibly similar (though less well defined) feature adjacent to the north-western boundary of the field. The report included management recommendations to safeguard the northern ring ditch through exclusion from the development area. The other features were judged likely on the basis of the available evidence to be so poorly preserved that it would not be commensurate to exclude them from the development area. Surface mounts were recommended for the arrays to be sited over the other possible barrow.
