Abstract:		 Pre-application CC045047 for a 12.6Ha solar farm on fields at Higher Trenhayle adjacent to Wheal Alfred Road between Hayle and Fraddam was responded to by the Historic Environment Planning Advice Officer (West), who indicated that a development of this nature at this location would require archaeological assessment, given its proximity to a scheduled Iron Age round (Castle Kayle). The site chosen for the solar farm occupies a hilltop location just to the north of Castle Kayle within an area of the landscape which was enclosed during the medieval period. A brief for site investigation was prepared by the Historic Environment Planning Advice Officer (West Cornwall), Cornwall Council, and HE Projects was commissioned to carry out an assessment of the potential impacts of this proposal on 23rd May 2012. Geophysical survey of the area surrounding the location proposed for the solar farm was commissioned from Archaeophysica Ltd. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis, a geophysical survey and a walkover survey. The desk based assessment and walkover survey did not reveal the presence of any archaeological features likely to be impacted upon by the proposed solar farm. The geophysics revealed the potential for the development to negatively affect sub-surface archaeology within the site, this consisting primarily of a system of ploughed-out field boundaries which are likely to be of medieval origin, and a possible enclosure in the north eastern corner of the south western field. A report summarising these findings was prepared for the client.
