Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The results of a desk-based assessment, and Historic Visual Impact Assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land at Penquarry Farm, Probus, Cornwall, as part of the pre-planning documentation for a proposed solar park. The proposal site is clearly located within an area of Anciently Enclosed farmland (AEL), and traces of medieval strip fields are still identifiable within the surrounding fieldscape. The three fields which form the proposal site have to some extent been rationalised within the post-medieval period. The land formerly belonged to part of the Churchtown holdings (i.e. part of Probus village), and was likely once part of the Manor of Probus, and part of the former monastic holding. Most of the designated heritage assets in the wider area are located at such a distance to minimise the impact of the proposed development, or else the contribution of setting to overall significance is less important than other factors. The landscape context of many of these buildings and monuments is such that they would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed solar park by a combination of local blocking, and the topography, or that other modern intrusions have already impinged upon their settings. The Conservation Area and Church at Probus, are the only designated heritage assets which are likely to suffer any measurable impact from the proposed developments, and this is likely to be very minimal (negligible to negative/minor). With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed solar scheme can be assessed as negative/minor. The impact of the development on the buried archaeological resource will be permanent/irreversible.
