Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Trela Farm, Camelford, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a single small wind turbine. The site lies south-east of Trela Farm within an area of land enclosed from Coplestone Heath in the 18th and 19th centuries. Trela(y) Farm is first recorded in 1327 as Lyegh, an Old English place-name meaning open wood pasture. In 1695 Coplestone Heath belonged to the farm of Hendra, which was owned by the Agar-Robartes of Lanhydrock. Trela came into the possession of the Eliot family in 1674, who later became the Earls of St Germans. The geophysical survey identified only a small number of linear features, probably relating to earlier attempts to enclose the moor. A small possible ring cairn lies some 300m to the south-east. A number of Scheduled Bronze Age barrows are located within 5km of the proposed turbine site, and form elements within a wider Prehistoric funerary landscape. The wide and open vistas of this landscape are more sensitive to intrusive visual actors; on this basis the impact of the proposed development is assessed as negative/moderate, despite the relatively small size (50kw) of the proposed turbine. |
