Abstract: |
An assessment for Low Carbon Developers of a proposed solar farm at Warleigh Barton, Tamerton Foliot in Devon, was undertaken by the Projects team of Historic Environment, Cornwall Council. The study was designed to gain a better understanding of the impacts which would result from the solar farm. It includes desk-based study, site inspection and geophysical survey, The proposed area occupies two fields and an access road centred at SX 45692 60971. It does not include any Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings but does lie within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The field boundaries are considered 'important' under Hedgerow Regulations.The results of the geophysical survey revealed evidence for a number of sub-surface archaeological features. Most obvious of these is in the field immediately west of the development area. This represents a probable settlement site comprising a series of concentric enclosures around a spring and is undoubtedly of prehistoric date. The recommendations set out further work that might be required to mitigate for the archaeological impact should the development proceed. This includes possible site redesign, archaeological evaluation to assess the nature, extent and survival of buried features, archaeological watching brief, excavation and controlled soil stripping. |
