Abstract:		 HE Projects Cornwall Council undertook an assessment of a site at Higher Trevartha, Menheniot proposed for a solar pv farm. Geophysical survey of the site was commissioned from Archaeophysica Ltd. The three adjoining fields making up the site represent groups of fossilised former medieval strip fields. Their eastern edge were formerly traversed by a roadway linking Higher Trevartha to Tregrill. It is assumed that this landscape would have been farmed during late prehistory. Geophysical survey revealed traces of a documented removed boundary, two ploughed out linear features parallel to and adjacent to modern boundaries, a curvilinear linear feature of indeterminate age and some evidence for ridge and furrow cultivation. The walkover survey revealed no additional archaeological features. Viewshed mapping to determine the potential impacts of the development of the solar farm on key heritage assets within the surrounding landscape suggested that, given the location and orientation of the site, these were unlikely to be significant. Impacts on Historic Landscape Character were judged to be likely to be slightly more significant, as a result of the introduction of modern features into a landscape which currently by and large lacks such elements. The potential impacts on key heritage features were field checked, confirming the results suggested by viewshed modelling. The report summarised the results of the desk based assessment and surveys and set out an appropriate mitigation strategy to minimise any avoidable negative effects on the historic environment, should the development proceed.
