Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken in relation to the proposed redevelopment, the main component of which was the extension of an existing building. Probable archaeological deposits and features consisted of Bronze Age activity and scattered early Saxon burials relating to a large cemetery situated immediately to the east of the site. It was also suggested the site had been a Roman settlement but there was little real evidence for this. The presence of a possible Second World War air-raid shelter was of interest regarding the history of the school. The principle impact of the proposed works may therefore involve the removal of (or damage to) some archaeological remains of significant interest that may have survived beneath the modern ground level. The report concluded that further investigation may be necessary to determine the exact nature and quantity of such deposits so that the proper mitigation condition attached to the planning consent may be dealt with efficiently. This would include recording the possible Second World War air-raid shelter. [Au(abr)]
