Abstract: |
Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council was approached by Capture Energy Ltd with a request for an archaeological assessment of a proposed pair of 100Kw wind turbines with hub heights of 22.5m and maximum blade tip heights of 34.2m near Trewoofe, St. Buryan, at SW 43514 25796 and SW 43653 25791. The site chosen for the wind turbines lies in an area of farmland laid out during the medieval period on a north-facing valley side above the stream which reaches the sea at Lamorna on the south coast of West Penwith. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis out to 10Km from the turbine locations and a walkover survey. English Heritage considered that there was some potential for impacts on the settings of the Scheduled Monuments centred on the Merry Maidens stone circle to the south. The site also lies close to a number of Listed Buildings, particularly at Trewoofe and Trevider. Some impacts on the Historic Landscape Character of the landscape surrounding the proposed wind turbines was also anticipated. Overall, setting impacts resulting from the development were considered likely only at the Scheduled Pipers standing stones to the south of the site, at Trevider and associated buildings to the north west of the site, to a pair of Grade II Listed agricultural barns sited immediately next to the development site, and on the Historic Landscape Character of the immediate landscape. A report summarising the results of the assessment and its conclusions was prepared for the client. |
