Abstract: |
Archaeological implications were assessed for proposed works at Newton St. Cyres Primary School. Seventeen sites of archaeological interest and eight Listed buildings (not included) were identified in the vicinity of the proposed development site. Seven of these sites were enclosures identified by aerial photography and were likely to be of prehistoric or Roman date. The unusual triple ditched enclosure (site 3) lay only 200m to the south-west and the larger group (site four) 300m to the south-east. All of the seven enclosures lay within 900m of the site which must be considered to be a high concentration. The only positive archaeological identification was site 5, the Roman road. Roman roads did not always follow the precise line of a later, superimposed road. Therefore there was some potential for the course of the Roman road to lay within the development. Any ground reduction or trenching works therefore could reveal historic road metalling or roadside ditches. Given the concentration of prehistoric or Roman enclosures there was a high potential for archaeological features or artefacts to be located within the site [Au(abr)] |
