Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and historic visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Treglasta Farm, Davidstow, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a 500kW (77m to tip) wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be installed on land that now belongs to Treglasta Farm, a former manor mentioned in the Domesday Book. The turbine would be located on land north-west of Treglasta Farm, with an access track running across two, formerly three, fields to the north of the farm. The removed boundary was identifiable, along with a further removed field boundary on the geophysical survey. In addition the geophysical survey revealed two enclosures and a number of large cut features or unknown purpose or origin. A double-ditched sub-rectangular (romano-british?) enclosure identified on the geophysics and LiDAR survey is located directly below the proposed turbine site. No trace of this enclosure showed up within the archaeological evaluation trenches, and the anomaly can be accounted for as an area of wet peaty ground, which has been partly in-filled with stone in the last 10 years. |
