Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned by Jamie Baldwin on behalf of Ecotricity (Next Generation) Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological recording during ground works required ahead of the erection of a wind turbine at Penans Farm, Grampound (SW 95258 48564 The site lies about 445m to the south-west of Penans Farm, within the ecclesiastical parish of Creed. The development was the subject of a planning condition, which required that archaeological recording took place ahead of construction (PA12/06977). The current work which involved the construction of part of the access track to the site was undertaken by the developer in order to secure their planning permission. This length of trackway was 120m long and 4.5m wide. The rest of the earthworks noted in the WSI may subsequently be undertaken at a later date, dependant on whether or not they decide to go ahead with the development. No archaeological features were recorded in the course of the work, and only a single artefact was recovered. This was a flint obliquely backed point dating from the Mesolithic 10000 - 4000 BC |
