| Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment found that, given the location by the river, it was unlikely to have had occupation deposits as it was prone to flooding. A watermill, Skaltok Mill, was mentioned of being close by, however, the exact location was unknown. A post-medieval ford was known to have crossed the river at the eastern end of Green Lane immediately south of the study area. In 1827 a mill dam and pier supports for a timber bridge were recorded in the vicinity. However, it was possible that both these structures were indeed one and the same as the accounts for each were very vague. These structures were nonetheless undisturbed by the proposed development as they lay in the river or on the bank. There was, however, a potential of out-lying works or isolated artefacts to be disturbed by the development. [Au(adp)] |
