Abstract: |
The proposed development site incorporates an area of pasture in use for sheep grazing, and historically used for agricultural purposes throughout the 18th and 19th centuries at least, although one mid-18th century County map depicts coal pits in the vicinity and other maps suggest that the settlement of Whessoe was located close by, though whether this was the known medieval deserted village or a post medieval successor settlement is not clear. There are a number of known and potential heritage assets identified from within the site boundary, including the possible coal pits, possible remains of medieval/ post medieval buildings, a garth a possible brick kiln, several former field boundaries and ponds, a former structure and enclosure and several areas of ridge and furrow. A development within the site boundary has the potential to directly impact on the surviving remains of these 14 heritage assets known to have existed within the site boundary. This would result in a limited impact on overall heritage significance. Similar proposals within the study area have required geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation which have revealed a good level of survival of below ground features and deposits. It is likely that further archaeological mitigative work will also be required for this site. The scope and requirements for all such further is dependent on advice from Durham County Council's Archaeology Section |
