Abstract: |
A desktop assessment of a corridor 1km wide centred on the proposed road, and a rapid field survey of a 300m corridor was carried out by the Field Archaeology Section of the Warwickshire Museum to identify archaeological sites and historic buildings affected by the scheme. This suggested that the effects of the proposals on the cultural heritage will be minor. The road corridor contains no Scheduled Ancient Monuments, but fifteen archaeological sites, possible sites and findspots were identified. Three of these are affected by the proposals. Some remains of the medieval ford and bridge at Chesford Bridge (WA 1490) may be uncovered, but a programme of archaeological observation during construction is proposed. The site of an 18th/19th century toll house east of Chesford Bridge (WA 2598) will be destroyed, although it is likely that the remains of the structure have already been substantially removed by earlier activity. An area of earthworks south of Dial House Farm (WA 7189) will be marginally affected; earthmoving in this area would also be subject to archaeological observation. The proposals will also affect some small areas of medieval ridge and furrow field system, but these are too poorly preserved to constitute a significant constraint. There are no Conservation Areas or Registered Parks and Gardens in the road corridor, but it does contain four listed buildings, all Grade II: Dial House Farmhouse, Stoneleigh Road; Blackdown Mill, Hill Wootton Road; Chesford Bridge, Kenilworth Road; and Hill Wootton Bridge, Hill Wootton Road. Of these, the first three are affected by the proposals.[AIP] |
