Abstract:		 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council, was approached in September 2013 with a request to provide costs for an archaeological assessment of the potential impacts of construction of a wind turbine at Levalsa Farm, St Ewe as part of a proposed planning application. The proposal is for a 900kw wind turbine with a hub height of 54m and a maximum blade tip height of 78m positioned on agricultural land at Levalsa Farm, to the south of Sticker, in the parish of St Ewe at SW 98833 48677 (NGR; Figure 1). The wind turbine is to be sited at a height of approximately 82m OD on the northern end of a ridge crest. The area surrounding the site proposed for the turbine is recorded as Farmland, Medieval. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis out to 10km and consideration of designated sites up to 15km from the proposed turbine location, and a walkover survey. Given the location chosen for the wind turbine, it was anticipated that there was some potential for negative impacts on the settings of a number of important Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Registered Parks and Gardens and Conservation Areas within a 15km radius. Visibility of the site was particularly good from the ridge-tops that characterise the area. The intervening valleys were often narrow and substantially vegetated, inhibiting views back to the proposed turbine site. The heritage assets are spread quite equally around the proposed turbine site although at approximately 5km the coastline cuts across from south to north in the easterly sector. Cumulative impacts were also assessed as a result of the increasing number of existing and proposed turbines in the area. Overall the potential impacts of the proposed wind turbine on the identified heritage assets are rated as minor, though the impacts on Lanhadron and Sticker are assessed as moderate.
