Abstract:
This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey, geophysical survey and historic visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Trela Farm, Forrabury and Minster, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a single 100Kw wind turbine. The site lies east of Hendra Farm within an area of enclosed farmland on the edge of the former Coplestone Heath. Hendra Farm is first recorded in 1327 and was owned by the Agar-Robartes of Lanhydrock. The core farmland at Hendra was laid out by 1695, whereas the adjacent open Coplestone Heath was only enclosed in the 18th and 19th century. The geophysical survey failed to identify any clear evidence of archaeological activity. A possible ring cairn (MCO4604) lies some 400m to the east, but most of the known Prehistoric monuments in the area - some surviving in good condition - are located on higher ground close to the summit of the hills. Some of these Prehistoric monuments now stand within enclosed farmland, and others have been compromised by their proximity to intrusive modern visual actors. A number of Listed structures, almost all Grade II, will have views to the proposed turbine, but the nature of those structures, and/or their current setting, make them far less sensitive. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed turbine can be assessed as to negative/moderate, largely because of the cumulative impact of wind turbines in this landscape.
