Abstract: |
The desk-based assessment has demonstrated that the Site lies within a landscape of known above and below ground heritage assets. Previous archaeological investigations (notably RPS 2005; Dickens et al. 2006) listed in the Cambridgeshire Heritage Environment Record (CHER) search have shown that below-ground archaeological remains spanning the prehistoric to post-medieval periods are present within the farmland surrounding the quarry and former CEMEX cement works. There are no Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings or other statutory designations within the boundaries of the Site, however there is a surviving earthwork, in the form of a moat of medieval or later date, to the north of Barrington Hall. Information gleaned from historic maps, Listed Buildings and the HER also indicates that there are buildings of historic and/or architectural interest near to the Site, the setting of which may be affected by the Proposed Development. Above-ground remains include the tracks associated with the disused Mineral Railway and a water-filled moat; the presence of the latter may indicate that other remains of medieval or later date (possibly associated with the former landscape gardens of Barrington Hall) may survive within the southern, wooded part of Zone 3. The levels of impact across the three zones will be different depending on the nature of the previous land-use combined with the various design elements of the Proposed Development, which include residential dwellings in addition to formal and informal open spaces. |
