Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken in advance of a proposed residential development. The site was situated within the historic core of Christchurch, whose origins lay in the Saxon period. The town developed around the Castle and Priory during the medieval period and the site was located within the core Saxon and medieval settlement area. Sixty-nine archaeological sites and find spots ranging in date from prehistoric to post-medieval including 14 Listed buildings and 3 Scheduled Monuments were recorded within the Study Area. The land to the rear of the Kings Arms had not been the subject of significant development activity during the post-medieval period and therefore any below ground deposits present would have had the potential to survive relatively well. Overall, there was a moderate to high potential for the presence of archaeological deposits ranging in date from the later prehistoric through to the post-medieval period. It was possible that the proposed development could have had implications with regards to the setting of two Scheduled Monuments and a number of Listed buildings within the Conservation Area.
