Abstract: |
No. 50 Church Road was a Listed Grade II structure described as an early 19th century building of probable cob construction. Since the details of all formation levels, foundation design and service runs had yet to be decided (October 2004), the impact of the development on the potential below ground archaeology could not be precisely determined. The level of the proposed access and parking areas was likely to be similar to the existing ground level, but would be slightly raised adjacent to the site entrance. The garage block would again be at a similar or slightly lower level. Finished floor levels for the domestic buildings were not available at the time of report preparation. As the present site appeared not to have been built up, or was terraced to any noticeable degree, it was possible that any remains of the former buildings shown on the early maps, or other features such as former road surfaces, would lay fairly close to the surface. Any ground clearance for new surfaces or foundations may therefore have exposed buried deposits or remains. The impact of the development on the standing fabric of No. 50 would presumably have been be limited to its western face, against which the new building was to be constructed. Features within the western wall of the house exposed during works for the new building may provide evidence for the former adjoining ranges or buildings. [Au(adp)] |
