Overview
The digital archive
The conservation plan was been prepared to help the key stakeholders develop approaches to the long-term management and conservation of the Thornborough Henges area. The resulting document has been identified as a key management document and has been secured for the long-term by the Archaeology Data Service as part of the ALSF archive programme. The Plan is a non-statutory document. The Plan is the first step in a longer process to deliver a sustainable future for the Thornborough Henges and Plan Area. Please note that the presented text is the final consultation draft which has not been endorsed by the partners and therefore has no formal status.
The document is structured as follows:
- Section 1 outlines the background to the plan; its scope and aims; the key stakeholders involved in the Plan; and the structure of the Plan.
- Section 2 provides a description of the Plan Area and its general context in terms of its archaeology, history, landscape, ecology and current uses.
- Section 3 provides a brief overview of the key planning and legal designations and instruments that are relevant to the Plan Area.
- Section 4 presents the Statement of Significance for the Plan Area
- Section 5 examines the key issues facing the Plan Area. These include amongst others landscape management, land-use, tourism, access, community involvement and the conservation of the archaeology.
- Section 6 presents the guiding principles for the future management of the Plan Area.
- Section 7 outlines a number of opportunities and recommendations that could contribute to the sustainable management of the Plan Area.
- Appendix 1 presents a gazetteer of known archaeological and historical remains within the Plan Area.
