Abstract: |
The results of a heritage impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a proposed turbine on Karslake, St Mewan, Cornwall. This work was carried out on behalf of CleanEarth Energy Ltd. (the Agent) in advance of a planning application. The proposed site would be located towards the northern edge of the parish of St Mewan. This area lies within the china clay district attached to St Austell; a landscape despoiled by mineral extraction but one where the disused pits are being reclaimed by nature. Prior to the massive expansion of the china clay pits in the 20th century, this was an upland landscape of large open commons and marginal smallholdings. The proposed turbine would be located within the ancient unenclosed common land, known as Alviggan Moor, next to the fields of (H)alviggan, a smallholding established in the 18th or early 19th century on Burngullow Down. The wider area was owned by the Agar-Robartes family of Lanhydrock. |
