Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken at the land to the north of Alrewas, Staffordshire in relation to proposed residential development of the southern part of the site. This report describes and assesses the significance of the heritage assets (and potential heritage assets) that are potentially affected by the application. The setting of heritage assets is considered. The potential impact of the application, and the need for further on-site evaluation, is assessed. The proposed development is set within a complex prehistoric landscape focused on the confluence of the Rivers Trent, Tame and Nene. This area has been investigated extensively largely as a result of large scale gravel extraction and a wide variety of sites and monuments have been recorded from the prehistoric and Roman periods. Aerial photographs of the southern half of the proposed development site have revealed the presence of two groups of cropmarks. The site lies to the south of a well-preserved complex of earthworks related to a medieval manor (Wychnor Hall) and associated settlement, which is a scheduled ancient monument. The proposed development is not considered to significantly affect the setting of this complex. The western edge of the site lies within the Conservation Area for the settlement of Alrewas (DST 5655) and the Trent and Mersey Canal (DST5720). The proposed development will affect the setting of both the canal and the historic core of the village. It is recommended that prior to development of the site, an archaeological evaluation is undertaken to establish the presence, extent and nature of buried archaeological deposits within the southern part of the site.
