| Abstract: |
The site was currently formed by open fields and a complex of farm buildings ranging in date from the mid 18th to 20th century. No previous archaeological work had been carried out on the site. There were no Listed Buildings within or immediately adjacent to the site boundary, although the complex of farm buildings were of local interest and included a mid to late 18th century threshing barn and a rare horse engine house. The history of the site was documented by a study of historical maps, books and articles. The assessment indicated that the site lay in an area where extensive Iron Age/Romano-British field systems had been recorded. There was evidence for a building, probably the threshing barn, on the site by 1774. Further buildings were erected on the site in the early to mid 19th century, but the majority of the site had remained undeveloped pasture land. The proposed scheme involved the construction of 144 dwellings with landscaping and access roads and included an area of open space to the east. The scheme proposed to retain part of the mid to late 18th century threshing barn which stood at the northern end of the buildings on the west side of the stockyard, the cow house to the east and the horse engine house to the west. The farmhouse itself was also to be converted but the other farm buildings and outbuildings were to be demolished. [Au(abr)] |
