Abstract:		 An historic environment desk based assessment was carried out during January to March 2017 at land to the south of Chipping Surgery, Symn Lane, Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire. The work was requested in response for a proposal for residential development of the site. The assessment concluded that the undated heritage asset recorded on the Historic Environment Record as a series of strip lynchets and an area of ridge and furrow are in fact terracing of probable geological origin caused by variations in the underlying rock strata and which may have been utilised for cultivation. The study site itself forms part of a low promontory or knoll on the western edge of a coombe of which there are many similar examples of natural terracing replicated on the slopes of the surrounding coombes along the Cotswold scarp. Evidence for ridge and furrow to the south of the site is erroneous and the earthworks which have been dubiously identified from aerial photographs are probably remnants of a former 19th century field system established during the enclosures. The impact of the proposed development on the site, which lies on a steep slope, is likely to be substantial with truncation of the underlying deposits resulting from excavation of strip foundations, associated services, roads and driveways. The proposed car-parking area covers a large area and will result in significant ground reduction. Further investigation through field evaluation may be able to establish the authenticity and archaeological significance of the heritage asset and the potential impact on this and its setting.
