Abstract:
This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation and historic visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Trenithon Farm, St Enoder, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a single medium scale wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be installed on land that belonged to the farm at Trenithon; the documentary analysis suggests that this farm was formerly a village split into several tenements owned by two different landowners in the 18th century. The cartographic analysis indicates this fieldscape has changed since 1840, with a rationalisation and amalgamation of many of the fields, including of the proposal site, which was formerly divided between seven enclosures. Although the HLC defines the proposal area and much of the surrounding area as post-medieval or modern enclosures it is clear that the fields around Trenithon Farm were on the historic maps broken up into slim strips and small rectilinear blocks. This would indicate that, rather than being a modern landscape enclosed from open common or waste, the landscape around the farm formed part of a medieval strip field system, with the land further to the south enclosed at a later date from open downland. The proposal site should therefore be considered to be positioned within Anciently Enclosed Land, although the walkover and geophysical surveys found little evidence of any archaeological features barring removed field boundaries. The sole exception was the slightly curving ditch identified in the geophysical survey, which may have formed part of an enclosure of unknown (most likely Medieval, Romano-British or Prehistoric) date.
