Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken to inform the proposed development of the Durham Green Business Park, Bowburn. Data was collected from the National Monuments Record, Durham Historic Environment Record, English Heritage, Durham City Council, documentary sources, historic mapping and a site visit. A study area of 1km radius around the proposed development site was examined. The only recorded sites within the proposed development site are the levelled remains of ridge and furrow. The site was depicted as undeveloped on the first edition Ordnance Survey mapping. The site has remained in agricultural use until the present day. Peat Edge Farm and Crow Trees Farmhouse, within the proposed development site boundary, are both depicted on tithe mapping. The proposed development may directly physically impact upon ridge and furrow remains within the site boundary. The proposed development may directly impact upon the built heritage within the site either through demolition or intrusion into setting. The proposed development may also impact upon a historic hedgerow in the site. There is a potential to discover previously unrecorded, archaeological remains of prehistoric or medieval date within the proposed development site. A programme of geophysical survey in the first instance was agreed. |
