| Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment found there were 15 statutorily protected buildings in the vicinity of the site. There were no structures on the site. A cropmark indicating Iron Age or Romano-British settlement was noted by Sites and Monuments Record in the north section of the site. However, later quarrying was thought to have destroyed any archaeology associated with this feature. The south section of the study site had not been disturbed by quarrying. There was potential for prehistoric remains to survive in this area, given the general location and close proximity to a known cropmark. It was not thought that any significant Roman, medieval, or post-medieval remains would be present within the study area. [Au(adp)] |
