Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land behind the Bishampton and Throckmorton Parish Room in Throckmorton. The results of the evaluation are relatively clear. No significant archaeological deposits were present within the trench, and it is likely that none are present in the immediate vicinity. Only one feature - a post-medieval field drain - was found, and the earliest material within the reworked topsoil was of 18th century date. On this basis, it seems likely that the area of the car park was not settled in the medieval or post-medieval periods, but instead was undeveloped, open land, probably associated with an adjacent tenement. The 18th century artefacts recovered from the topsoil probably represent rubbish that was either dumped, or mixed with manure on a garden plot or orchard. The results of the visual impact assessment are also clear. The site of the proposed car park is hidden from view from the Long Lane and Throckmorton Road by hedgerows, and from most of the track leading north-eastwards from Throckmorton Road to Throckmorton church. The site is visible from the church itself, and from the southern boundary of Church Farm, but from these viewpoints it is too far-off to be prominent. |
