Abstract: |
Results of an archaeological evaluation and historic visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Ridgecombe Farm Lifton, Devon. The proposed turbine would be located in a field immediately north of a known prehistoric earthwork and cropmark enclosure; despite this the features identified in the geophysical survey appear to relate to removed field-boundaries, possibly from two different phases. The archaeological evaluation revealed an undated ditch on a different alignment to the existing field system as identified on the geophysical survey. A remnant soil, cut by this ditch, which respects the gently undulating ridge described below was also identified. In terms of the wider landscape, the site is located on a north-east facing slope, below the summit of a gently undulating east-west orientated ridge. This landscape is relatively open and exposed, and any tall vertical element will be highly visible, although local blocking will often apply. |
