| Abstract: |
The only known archaeological sites of any date to be affected by the proposed quarry and roads were the post-medieval lime kilns and a post-medieval barn within the proposed extraction site itself. There was the potential for the area of proposed quarrying and the lines of the proposed roads to contain unknown prehistoric deposits or artefacts, particularly Mesolithic flint. The area of proposed extraction was recorded in the SMR as the site of an Iron Age hillfort, but documentary and pictorial research suggested that this had been mis-located. There was also some potential for archaeological remains dating to the Roman period to be found. Although woodland clearance and settlement in the study area began in the early medieval period, the archaeological potential of the affected areas to contain remains dating the medieval and post-medieval was low.
