Abstract: |
The assessment has highlighted that the site is of moderate-high archaeological potential for the recovery of prehistoric finds and of low potential for remains from the Roman through to the Post-medieval period. The site appears to have been agricultural land throughout the Medieval and early Post-medieval periods. It remained undeveloped until circa 1935, when the tennis courts were constructed, followed by the public house circa 1956. A number of garages/short lived structures were subsequently constructed within the site, close to the southern boundary. The foundations for these earlier structures are likely to lie beneath the present industrial buildings and may only survive in a fragmentary form. The main archaeological potential of the site is therefore for the presence of Mesolithic finds. It should be noted, however, that construction of the tennis grounds and the public house may have caused an impact on any archaeological deposits that may have been present. Features of Mesolithic date are likely to have been insubstantial and easily destroyed. However, with the exception of two garage blocks, the level of disturbance in the southern part of the site, which is of the highest potential, may have been relatively light. Preservation of Mesolithic archaeological finds and features in this area may, therefore, be considered possible. |
