Abstract: |
In February 2012 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological desk based assessment on land at Heath Farm/Hempstead Road, Holt, Norfolk (TG 088 386). The assessment was prepared in support of a proposed planning application to redevelop the 15 hectare site for mixed use development No archaeological finds have previously been recorded on the assessment site. Two possible Bronze Age barrows and a burnt mound are located to the south of the assessment site (NHER 6483, 53183, 53186), and a small number of prehistoric flint flakes have been recovered from within the study area (NHER 28286, 28285). A small quantity of medieval archaeology has been located within the historic core of Holt comprising pottery, ditches and a fragment of a stone cross (NHER 55058, 35196, 13387, 51282). It is probable that the assessment site was located on common land from the late medieval period until the 19th century. The Holt branch of the Midland and Great Northern Railway bordered the north-west side of the assessment site which is now the course of the A148 (NHER 13584). Previous ground disturbance in the form of quarrying has occurred around the site, but there is no evidence for such ground reduction within it. The proposed development will have a high impact on any archaeological remains, if present that may be within the extensive area of the site. |
