Abstract: |
A program of archaeological evaluation was required by a condition on planning application SE/12/0584 for the construction of a dwelling and garage, replacing the existing West Stow Lodge. The archaeological condition had been placed as the site lies within an area of high archaeological potential, within the historic settlement core of West Stow and to the north of the medieval church of St Mary's (County Historic Environment Record No. WSW 039). The site also lies on a spur of high ground in the Lark Valley, a topographic position of typically high potential, and known find spots of Iron Age date (WSW 007 and 0033) lie 200m to the north while Anglo Saxon and early medieval material has been recorded 100m to the south-east (WSW 038). There is also potential for early remains relating to the church as the northern boundary of the churchyard appears to be of some antiquity and there are unsubstantiated claims of bones being discovered during the construction of West Stow Lodge in the mid/late 20th century. The proposed development therefore was thought to have potential to disturb unknown archaeological deposits. Trial trench evaluation was subsequently required to establish the date, approximate form and function of any archaeological deposits within the application area, together with information as to their extent, depth and quality of preservation, so that an assessment of the developments impact upon heritage assets could be made and a suitable mitigation strategy prepared. |
