Abstract: |
The Site is currently one large arable field occupying a ridge of land between 40m and 70m OD, within the Riseley Claylands Landscape Area. It is close to the medieval settlements of Pertenhall, Swineshead and Keysoe and is thought to have been used as a deer park in the medieval period. Evidence of archaeology from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age and Anglo-Saxon periods through to the post-medieval has also been identified within the search area. A programme of archaeological trial trenching carried out within the Site has identified archaeological remains mainly dating to the Late Iron Age, early Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods. This assessment demonstrates that there is the potential for surviving archaeological remains within the Site, in particular those dating to the Late Iron Age, Roman and medieval periods. The majority of the Site has been subject to little modern disturbance. As a result, any archaeological deposits are likely to be in a good state of preservation, although they may have been affected by arable farming practises dating from the medieval and post-medieval periods. The construction of the proposed new arrays, sub stations, cable trenches and access roads have the potential to have a direct and permanent effect upon archaeological deposits. |
