Abstract: |
The site lay within an area of archaeological interest identified from recorded findspots and archaeological features dating from prehistoric period onwards. Of particular note was the presence of an extant section of bank, immediately north-west of the site, that was considered to form part of the extensive eighth-century AD linear monument known as Offa's Dyke, and which received statutory protection as part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument. A second section of bank 200m to the south-east of the site was also thought to form part of Offa's Dyke, but it remained uncertain from cartographic records, aerial photographic analysis and a site inspection whether a bank and associated ditch ever extended through the proposed development area. If Offa's Dyke was ever present within the site, any below ground remains of bank foundations, associated ditches or quarry pits may have been disturbed through known post-medieval ploughing and by terracing and other ground works associated with construction and use of the current building range since the early twentieth century.
