Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken at Saltwells Wood, Merry Hill, Dudley (NGR SO 93028 87146). It was undertaken on behalf of Selbourne Homes, who intend to construct five houses and a warden station on the site, and for which a planning application will be submitted. 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 is assessed. The site may contain the nationally important remains of medieval and post-medieval mining activities. Such remains are preserved as earthworks to the west of the site in a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Most remains within the development site may, however, have been truncated by the construction of Saltwells House in the early 19th Visibility to and from the development area is restricted by the dense woodland surrounding the site and the local topography. This will limit the prominence of the development ensuring it will not significantly affect the settings of any of the surrounding heritage assets. As the development site formally contained a residential property the development would also not negatively affect the areas historic landscape character. century. The foundations and cellars of this building are likely to survive below ground within the development area and are of lesser importance. It is suggested that an archaeological watching brief may be required to asses the degree of truncation and whether any significant archaeological deposits survive.
