Abstract: |
This archaeological desk based assessment has been undertaken as a result of a proposal for the siting of three wind turbines on land to the north-west of the historic town of Eye, on the site of a disused World War II airfield in the parishes of Eye and Yaxley. This DBA includes an examination of the Suffolk Historic Environment Record, an aerial photographic survey, a historic map and documentary search and a site walkover. This DBA does not include a visual impact assessment of the proposed development on the historic landscape, as this is addressed in a separate report. The results of this DBA suggest that there is a moderate to high potential for there to be Roman and Anglo-Saxon material within the PDA. The potential is variable across the PDA with a higher chance of Roman or Anglo-Saxon archaeology being discovered towards the southern part of the PDA near to a Roman occupation site and at least one Early Anglo-Saxon cemetery (possibly two) and an associated settlement. There is a low to moderate potential for encountering later prehistoric and medieval material within the PDA. |
