Abstract: |
Aerial photography has revealed a number of cropmarks in fields to the south of the River Lugg, immediately north of the study area, including two ring ditches of apparent Bronze Age date. However, the study area itself has revealed no such evidence of prehistoric activity. Indeed, the only physical remains within the field located during a site visit are of 20th century date, namely traces of the foundations of the clubhouse or ''Recreation Room'' that was built about 1920. An essential premise of this Desk-Based Assessment was a response to an English Heritage assertion that the site included earthworks of potential significance. No documentary or visual evidence was found to confirm this assertion. North Street Meadow may originally have formed part of one of the large open common arable fields of Kingsland during the medieval period. Some time before 1816, it was enclosed and became part of the property of Upper House (now known as Croft Mead) situated immediately to the east, which was built during the late 16th-early 17th century. From at least c.1800 onwards, North Street Meadow is recorded as having belonged to Croft Mead; the ownership of which changed hands several times during the 19th century. During this period it appears that the study area was occasionally leased to tenant farmers. |
