| Abstract: |
The site was going to be converted into a hospice. High Farm consisted of a number of different sized buildings, which occupied the south-western corner of the site. The remaining area of the site was covered in fields with an access road running through the eastern area of the site. Little had occurred in terms of development within the boundary of the site until the construction of the farm buildings which were thought to have been built in the mid 18th century. The layout of the buildings had changed slightly over time with the extension of the farmhouses and additional outbuildings. This would have had a substantial impact upon the ground. The construction of the hospice would potentially mean the demolition of the existing buildings and would involve the addition of foundations and services, which would have a considerable impact upon the ground. An archaeological watching brief had been previously undertaken on the excavation of four test pits. Three out of four of the test pits contained no archaeology at all, whilst the fourth disclosed tile and pottery dating to the late 19th/early 20th century. This layer was approximately 30.0cm thick and probably represented localised dumping. On this basis it seem unlikely that much in the way of buried archaeology existed upon the site. Three of the farm buildings appeared to pre-date the 1854 OS map, although two of these had been substantially altered since that date. The buildings were not Listed, but were potentially of local historic interest. It may therefore be necessary for some form of mitigation to be carried out to either record the buildings prior to demolition, or, if possible, to consider incorporating them in the scheme.
