Abstract:		 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council, were approached by of Mi-Grid Ltd on 15 August 2012 with a request to undertake an archaeological assessment of a proposed wind turbine at New Mills, Ladock as part of a planning application. The proposal is for a single 500Kw wind turbine with a maximum blade tip height of 76m to be sited on farmland at New Mills, Ladock at SW 90574 52234. The site chosen for the wind turbine lies on the upper eastern side of the New Mills valley to the north of Ladock in an area of former downland which was enclosed to agriculture during the 19th century. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis out to 10Km from the turbine location, analysis of a geophysical survey of the site and a walkover survey. No upstanding archaeology was found within the application site, whilst the geophysical survey revealed a ploughed out Cornish hedge, one further fragmentary boundary and a rather ephemeral curvilinear feature which might represent either the ring ditch around a barrow. A further curvilinear lay nearby. Given the nature of the location chosen for the wind turbine, with its fairly wide ranging views, visual impacts resulting from its construction are inevitable, in particular on its historic landscape character. Impacts on the settings of designated heritage assets are likely to be limited, though will be experienced in the case of Ladock church. A report summarising the results of the assessment and its conclusions was prepared for the client.
