Abstract:

The proposed ecological project sites have been found to have lain within agricultural land, likely to have been utilised as such from the Roman period onwards, with findspot evidence also suggesting prehistoric exploitation occurring. This agricultural land may have been dominated by grazing during the medieval period. It was more extensively managed during the post medieval periods. This is evidenced by drainage channels, and 19th century farmsteads with a network of lanes to facilitate production and delivery of produce. During the 20th century these farmsteads disappeared, the area being encroached upon by the industrial suburbs of Inningham and Grimsby, and World War defensive features were established in the study area to protect the two ports. The later 20th century saw use of the area for landfill, and later, the establishment of large industrial units, still developing today, with pockets of the planned agricultural landscape retained in-between. The six sites proposed for the ecological scheme populate some of these agricultural pockets. Of the 83 heritage assets within the 500m study area, two may extend into the proposed ecological sites; possible Roman features relating to a known farmstead site (Asset 2) at Site C and features relating to the 19th century Woad Farm (Asset 1) at Sites B1 and B2. There is also the extant remains of a possible 20th century hunting forest within Site A2 (Asset 21). These are likely to be be directly impacted on by the proposed ecological scheme, resulting in a limited impact on heritage significance in relation to these possible remains. There is an additional possibility of as-yet unknown buried remains, particularly of Roman origin, surviving, particularly in Sites A1 and A2
