Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey, geophysical survey and visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Nancolleth Farm, St Newlyn East, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a single 500kw wind turbine. The site lies to the north of Nancolleth Farm within an area of Post-Medieval Enclosed Land belonging to the farm and Manor of Nancolleth, an important medieval manorial centre first recorded in 1288. The cropmark evidence makes it clear there is an extensive buried archaeological landscape of Prehistoric and/or Romano-British date across this whole area. The geophysical survey determined that these prehistoric/Romano-British remains extend across the proposed turbine site and cable trench the impact of the development on the buried archaeological resource is negative/major. In terms of the wider landscape, there are relatively few Listed structures or Scheduled Monuments in the immediate vicinity, but rather more in the wider landscape. The turbine would have a more pronounced impact (negative/moderate) on the Grade II house at Trethiggey and the Grade I Church at St Enoder. Its overall impact on the historic landscape is assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate. |
