Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) was commissioned by Ben Venus of Drakes Renewables on behalf of the owner (Mr G Sayers) to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the construction of a single wind turbine, access track and two cable trenches. A cultural heritage assessment was carried out by Headland Archaeology (January 2104), which included a summary of a geophysical survey for the site. Following the proposal being granted planning consent (PA13/11706), a Written Scheme of Investigation was produced by CAU (Sharpe, 20/01/2015). Planning permission for the development was granted by Cornwall Council. The site lies to the west of Herodsfoot and north of scheduled Bury Down hillfort. The associated works are centred at SX1933 6058, while the turbine itself is located at SX19443 60789. The turbine is a 24.6m to hub, 34.2m to tip, 50Kw Endurance wind turbine, and will stand on land with particularly long views out to the east where Dartmoor is clearly visible. The watching brief did not uncover any significant archaeological remains, despite the potential for prehistoric and later remains to be disturbed within the excavated works. |
