Abstract: |
There was a proposal to carry out alterations to the Whitchurch Civic Centre on the High Street, Whitchurch, Shropshire. The development site has probably been occupied since the later 1st century AD, and lies within the area of a Roman fort and town, and the centre of a medieval and post medieval market town. Because of the potential historical and archaeological significance of the site, an archaeological desk-based assessment has been carried out of the proposed development site. This assessment suggests that archaeological features and deposits dating back to the Roman period may survive on part of the site, and has recommended that further field evaluation in the form of trial excavation may need to be carried out in order to assess the survival, nature, and significance of these remains prior to determination of the planning application. |
