Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-top study, geophysical survey and visual impact assessment (walk-over survey) was undertaken to assess the archaeological potential of Poole Farm as part of a pre-planning application process. Following the results of these actions a series of seven evaluation trenches were excavated in areas likely to be impacted upon by proposed groundworks. These trenches revealed a relic field boundary dating from before 1808, but removed in the later half of the 20th century, and three post-medieval postholes. Ploughing may account for a lack or destruction of archaeological deposits, however the fact remains that the evaluation trenching revealed that potentially nothing of archaeological significance exists on site. And the visual impact assessment concluded a zero to moderate negative effect on the visual landscape. |
