Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was prepared for a proposed development in the former Fornham Park estate. This revealed that the archaeological potential of the area had been seriously lessened by a series of recent quarries around the estate. However, where this was not the case, the former park landscape may have been designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown and could have contained parts of a deserted medieval village as well as the structural remains and graveyard of St. Genevieve's Church. Much of the former appeared to have been destroyed by quarrying, making any remains all the more important to preserve or record archaeologically. It was also possible that an Anglo-Saxon cemetery was partially excavated in the north east of the site sometime during the 19th century. The assessment area was also likely to have been the site of the 12th century Battle of Fornham, and its valley side location gave the area a high potential for prehistoric evidence. [Au]
