Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological Unit, formerly Historic Environment, Projects, was commissioned to provide a programme of archaeological mitigation during the groundworks for a single wind turbine. Other wind turbines and associated infrastructure have either been constructed or are in progress in the vicinity and these have also been subject to archaeological monitoring. This included archaeological monitoring of groundworks for the operational turbine approximately 375m to the northwest, monitoring of excavations for an electricity sub-station in the approximate centre of the field, of four 10m square areas and a 1.8km cable trench to the north. Former field boundaries and pits or features of uncertain date and function were identified in some areas but no artefacts were recovered and the archaeological remains are not considered highly significant. The area for the current wind turbine construction work comprised an approximately rectangular field within which a cable trench and crane base was excavated. The plot was the subject of a successful planning application for the development of a single wind turbine though was subject to conditions covering the archaeology. Cornwall Archaeological Unit was contacted by the developer with a request for a cost schedule and WSI to implement this planning condition. A watching brief was agreed and the methodology set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation. |
