Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by East Anglia ONE Limited to carry out a Heritage Statement, to provide a further, more detailed assessment about the heritage potential of two river crossing points which form part of the wider East Anglia ONE project. A 1km Study Area around each site was considered in order to provide a context for the discussion and interpretation of the known and potential resource. This assessment has established that there is an archaeological interest within the
river crossing sites, this is defined as the potential for the presence of buried
archaeological remains and semi-submerged structures.
Within Site 1 there are no known archaeological features within the site area though
there is considered to be low to moderate potential for locating features from the
later prehistoric period onwards relating to the use of the river and its natural
resources. However, due to a paucity of previous intrusive archaeological
investigations within the Study Area, the full potential for and significance of any
such archaeological remains could not be accurately assessed on the basis of the
available evidence. It is anticipated however, that any remains will be of local or
regional significance.
Within Site 2 there are two areas of posts known within the site area. These are
undated and their exact purpose and extent is unknown though a post-medieval or
later date is considered likely and they are likely to be associated with a former dock
and the flood defences. Additionally there is considered to be low to moderate
potential for locating features from the later prehistoric period onwards relating to
the use of the river and its natural resources. The full potential for and significance of
any such archaeological remains could not be accurately assessed on the basis of the |
