Abstract:		 The study was designed to gain a better understanding of the impacts which would result from the solar farm, both within the limits of this site, and in the surrounding historic landscape with its key archaeological sites or 'heritage assets'. It includes desk-based study and fieldwork and follows current planning policies and guidance. The results of a geophysical survey are added as an addendum. Viewshed mapping generated in ArcGIS, showing the theoretical inter-visibility between the proposed solar farm and the surrounding landscape, was used to inform the assessment. The proposed area does not include any Scheduled Monuments (SMs) or Listed Buildings (LBs). In the potential viewshed up to 5km from the site three Scheduled Monuments have possible inter-visibility with the site and one Scheduled Monument (Castle-an-Dinas CO93) is clearly visible. The site is also potentially visible from twelve of the Listed Buildings within the viewshed. The site includes or is bordered by eleven archaeological sites of particular significance. Those within the proposed area are the sites of an Observer Corps monitoring post of regional importance (site 1), the site of a leat and water channels of local importance (site 2), a strip-derived field system of regional importance (site 3), a post-medieval lane of local importance (site 5) and the site of a former building of local importance (site 6). Those sites bordering the area include the site of a Neolithic chambered tomb of national importance immediately to the south-east (site 7), a Romano-British enclosure and metalworking site of regional importance (site 9), a Bronze Age barrow of regional importance (site 10), Tregatillian Iron Age/Romano-British round of regional importance (site 11), the medieval settlement of Quoit of regional importance (site 8) and a 19th century school house of local importance (site 4).
