Abstract: |
The desk-based assessment located a total of 32 sites from the HER in close proximity to the development site, as well as a further site identified by this archaeological investigation. 18 of the HER sites were Listed Buildings, all Grade II. The development site also lies within Whitburn Conservation Area which has direct implications for developments in the area. The most important cultural and historic features to the development site are: The medieval village of Whitburn: recent archaeological investigation at Close House and the extant Rectory building (Pre Construct Archaeology 2005) found a high degree of preservation of medieval archaeological deposits within the development site. The earliest rectory building of Whitburn dates to at least 1670 (Surtees 1820, 50), with 1770 alterations (ibid), and is seen on the estate plan of 1811 extending into the western part of the site. The remains of the tithe barn (Site 2) and other outhouses associated with the Rector's garden pre-1862: the tithe barn, known to have been constructed between 1811 and 1817, its western extension, as well as other buildings associated with the rector's garden and stockyard seen on the estate plan of 1817 (Fig 5), could well survive. Extant traces of garden features associated with Whitburn Hall (The Archaeological Practice 2005) have been identified within the eastern part of the development site. Whitburn Hall took over this part of the site at some time between 1862 and 1897 so garden features within the development site probably date to this period. In addition traces of earlier garden features could survive sub-surface. It is therefore recommended that a programme of archaeological evaluation is undertaken prior to any proposed development of the site. |
