| Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken in advance of the construction of 11 new homes, the demolition of a late 19th-early 20th century outbuildings and the conversion of the public house into two homes. An historic assessment was also undertaken of the White Hart Public House, a Grade II listed building. The White Hart lay within the historic core of Marston village, a settlement dating back at least as far as the 12th century, and possibly earlier. The building lay within a plot which may originally have been lain out in the medieval period and which may have contained evidence for back yard activities associated with this date and through the post-medieval period, some of which could be traced on 19th century maps of the site. No earlier archaeology was known from the development site, although the site had a certain potential to contain archaeological remains pre-dating the medieval period, due to its location on a gravel terrace island. The main impact of the development on any archaeological deposits would be limited to that caused by the foundation and service trenches. The White Hart itself was to be converted into two residences and the 20th century brick extensions at the back demolished. Internally there was little of the original structure remaining, a result of recent alterations, and it was proposed that the alterations would respect the existing fabric where possible. The impact of the conversion was likely therefore to be minimal and the removal of the 20th century brick extensions should be considered a positive impact. [Au(adp)] |
