Abstract: |
This research has shown that while very few known archaeological sites are within 500m of the development site, this is more likely due to the limited development and study work conducted in the area rather than an absolute lack of archaeological remains. The potential for archaeological remains within the development site is summarised thus: In general the potential for prehistoric remains in the area is low, with two caveats the Neolithic and the Iron Age, which should be considered to have a higher potential. It is considered that there is a low to moderate potential for Roman remains to be present within the site boundary. Given the proximity of a known Saxon burial the potential for remains of this period must be considered high, however any such remains are likely to be confined to the east side of the site. There is a high potential for medieval and post-medieval agricultural features. It is recommended to conduct a geophysical survey of the area as an initial stage. A programme of targeted sample trenching should then follow this. |
