Abstract:		 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council, were approached by AGRenewables with a request to provide costs for the provision of an archaeological assessment of a proposed wind turbine at a site at Kessel Downs Quarry, Longdowns, in the parish of Mabe as part of a proposed screening submission. A cost schedule for this work was approved on 24th July 2012. The proposal is for a single wind turbine with a hub height of 40m and a maximum blade tip height of 56.5m to be sited within a disused granite quarry at SW 73985 33813. The site chosen for the wind turbines lies within a former granite quarry on a west and south west facing slope in an area of former downland and medieval farmland near Longdowns, Mabe. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis out to 10Km from the site, and a walkover survey. Despite the elevated site selected for this development and the open nature of the surrounding landscape, it was concluded that very few impacts were likely to result on the settings of designated or undesignated sites within the viewshed of the site except a small group in its immediate vicinity. This is due to a number of factors, including the nature of the monuments concerned, the wooded locales within which some of these key receptors are sited, and distance from the site of the proposed wind turbine. A report summarising the results of the assessment and its conclusions was prepared for the client.
