Abstract:		 A solar farm is proposed for a solar farm on a hillslope location adjacent to the B3269 between Bodmin and Lostwithiel, an island of Recently Enclosed Land within an area of medieval-derived farmland which would potentially be intervisible with the scheduled Restormel Castle and its nearby Roman period earthwork, the Grade II* Registered Park and Garden at Lanhydrock and the Conservation Area at Lostwithiel. A brief prepared by the Historic Environment Planning Advice Officer (central Cornwall), Cornwall Council was responded to by an HE Projects assessment of the potential impacts of this proposal. This consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis, a geophysical survey (by Archaeophysica Ltd) and a walkover survey. The walkover survey revealed no significant archaeology within the proposed development area, whilst the viewshed mapping and its field checking indicated that no negative impacts on the settings of key heritage assets were likely to arise. The geophysics revealed a series of superimposed field boundaries, the earliest of which are likely to be prehistoric in date and which appear to incorporate small enclosures. These features cannot easily be resolved into coherent field systems. Within most of the survey area, these apparently earlier elements are overlain by traces of ridge and furrow cultivation as well as evidence for modern ploughing. The site also exhibits a strongly magnetic geology. The development of a solar farm at this site may negatively impact these features and further investigation of this potential may be required.
