Abstract:		 Proposals in 2011 for a solar farm at Hope Farm, Gwithian were not submitted for planning permission. The site is now being reconsidered by another developer. The revised proposal includes an additional field. A brief set out the minimum requirements for archaeological recording in advance of an application for planning permission based on the need to identify heritage assets which would be impacted upon by the development, their significance and that of their settings, and any likely impacts on their settings. Viewshed analysis was undertaken and drawn together with the results of a walkover survey, the assessment of the original site undertaken by CgMs, a Stratascan geophysical survey and a geophysical survey of the additional field undertaken by Archaeophysica. Viewshed analysis suggested that the location and topography of the site chosen for the development would make it almost wholly invisible from key heritage assets within the surrounding landscape, except at distances where its visual impact would be very considerably attenuated. No new archaeological features were added through the walk-over survey. The two geophysical surveys revealed some removed post-medieval boundaries, together with fragmentary elements of an underlying field system and parts of two small enclosures interpreted as elements of the late prehistoric/Romano-British agricultural landscape. Geophysical survey also revealed the location of a barrow which had been documented within this general locality. Management recommendations to protect the barrow and the two late prehistoric enclosures during the development of the solar farm were included in the report.
