Abstract: |
This report presented the results of a desk-based assessment of the archaeological and cultural heritage issues relating to the proposed integrated resources park and reclamation scheme, at the former gas fired National Grid power station. The proposed development site lay within an area of marginal archaeological potential characterised largely by isolated prehistoric and Romano-British occupation, and dispersed medieval and post-medieval settlement and agricultural activity. No sites had been previously recorded within the proposed development area, although a review of aerial photographs demonstrated the presence of extensive areas of ridge and furrow, the majority of which appeared to have survived as earthworks in the area now comprising the nature reserve. Data from the bore hole survey demonstrated that no original ground surfaces appeared to have survived within the Pulverised Fuel Ash void, one of the principal areas to be affected. Overall, the development proposals were not considered to have any significant impact on the archaeological resource of the area. [Au(abr)] |
