Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a desk-based appraisal and limited visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a proposed housing development at Great Cotton Farm, Dartmouth, Devon, with respect to a nearby hillfort. West-north-west of the proposed development is Woodbury Camp, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. This is a substantial defended enclosure located in a locally-prominent position. The hillfort lies within several fields south-west of Woodbury Farm, and parts of the rampart survive relatively well; however, most of the monument has been ploughed down and the site is on the Monuments at Risk Register. This assessment determined that there would be intervisibility between Woodbury Camp and the houses on the edge of the proposed development, and views to the monument from along the valley from the south-east would include the development; those houses would not, however, be substantial skyline features. Bearing in mind the current situation and condition of the monument, and the visual effect of the proposed housing scheme, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate. |
