Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological geophysical survey and historic visual impact assessment (HVIA) carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Eastleigh Barton, Eastleigh, Westleigh, Devon in advance of the construction of a single 500kW (67m to tip) wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be located in a field belonging to Eastleigh Barton, which in turn belonged to the Manor of Eastleigh. The geophysical and walkover surveys failed to reveal anything of archaeological interest, though the field lies within a posited early-medieval enclosure. In terms of the wider landscape, the proposal site is located just south of a ridgeline, below the summit of a broad ridge orientated east to west. This landscape is open and undulating, and any tall vertical element will be highly visible, within its immediate landscape. However, the large-scale rolling landform serves to diminish the visual scale and impact of the development over the wider (4-10km) landscape. |
