Abstract:		 The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Carland Cross Wind Farm, Carland Cross, Cornwall. The site is located to the north-west of the Carland Cross junction of the A30 and the A39, immediately north of a group of Bronze Age barrows (Scheduled Ancient Monument: 1017049, 1017050, 1016888). Phases of enclosure occurred across the site in the 19th and 20th centuries and a wind farm was built on the site in the 1990's and remodelled in the 2010's. The geophysical survey identified five groups of anomalies including; three historical field boundaries that were established by the time of 1840's and 1880's mapping, and removed through the 19th and 20th centuries; a modern service pipe; two possible ditch-type anomalies and a possible field drain-type anomaly associated with redundant cables/trenches between decommissioned wind turbines; and possible ditches associated with an undated field system or 19th-21st century ploughing activity. Frequent parallel positive and negative linear anomalies associated with ploughing, and two areas of magnetic disturbance associated with wind turbines decommissioned in the 2010's were also evident in the survey data. Given the prominence of prehistoric monuments in the vicinity of the site and limitations of any non-intrusive survey, some archaeological mitigation at the site seems prudent and is recommended. Perhaps evaluation trenching or some degree of monitoring and recording could provide efficacy of- and validate the results of the geophysical survey and aid to confirm the presence or absence of any archaeology resource on the site.
