Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation and historic visual impact assessment were carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Knowle Farm, Linkinhorne, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a single 100Kw wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be installed on land close to Knowle Farm, but that belonged to an unnamed tenement in the 1840s that formed part of the Priory and Duchy Manor of Carnedon Prior. The cartographic analysis would indicate these fields formed part of a medieval common open field system, perhaps part of a planned expansion into the manorial waste that took place in the 13th century. The geophysical survey failed to identify any archaeological features of interest. Most of the designated buildings in the wider area would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed turbine by a combination of local blocking and the topography. In contrast, most of the Prehistoric Scheduled Monuments are located within 2-3km and there is a marked absence of local blocking due to the open upland setting. The proposed turbine would have some impact (negative/minor) on at least fourteen sites, with a more pronounced impact (negative/moderate) on a number of others: the Prince of Wales Engine House, the Cheesewring Farmhouse and Stables, cairns on Caradon Hill, and a pair of enclosures with hut circles. The key sites to consider, where the greatest impact may be felt, are Stowe's Pound with associated monuments, and the Cornwall and West Devon World Heritage Site [Caradon] considered collectively.
