Abstract:		 Planning application PA11/08884 relates to the installation of two 50kw wind turbines mounted on 36m high monopole masts together with cabling. In line with a brief prepared by the HEPAO (East) Cornwall Council, HE Projects was commissioned to carry out an assessment of the potential impacts of this proposal. Geophysical survey of the area surrounding the location proposed for the wind turbine and along the route for its cables was commissioned from Archaeophysica Ltd. The site lies on Bogee Common, formerly part of the very extensive St. Breock Downs and now enclosed to agriculture. During the Bronze Age, this area was the site of a large number of highly visible barrows, many clustered into discrete groups. From the mid 18th century to the early 20th century the Downs were enclosed to agriculture and these barrow groups became incorporated into the newly-created fieldscape. Although the wind turbines proposed for Higher Trevibban will be the first visually prominent 'modern' feature on Higher Bogee Common and will have impacts on the settings of designated and undesignated heritage assets within the surrounding landscape, the existence of the nearby Bears' Downs wind farm will inevitably reduce the scale of the impacts resulting from its construction. Within the survey area, no archaeological features other than three very ploughed down scheduled barrows were found during the walkover survey, whilst a 1Ha magnetometer survey centred on the sites proposed for the wind turbines and the 20m wide corridor following the route proposed for cabling revealed no archaeological features.
