Abstract: |
AB Heritage Ltd was commissioned by undertake an Archaeological Desk Based Assessment for a proposed development at Pixford Fruit Farm, Ash Priors, Taunton Deane, Somerset. Evidence from historic maps and aerial photographs has identified two former field boundaries [AB 40 and 42]; a possible L-shaped earthwork feature [AB 41], the location of three former Modern buildings [AB 34] and a former Turnpike road [AB 39] within the bounds of the proposed development site. Therefore, there is considered to be a high potential for the survival of features dating at least to the Post-Medieval and Modern periods. Historic map evidence has also identified the line of a possible routeway [AB 38], potentially of some antiquity immediately adjacent to the eastern boundary of the site. There is concluded to be a medium-low potential for the survival of archaeological features associated with this, relating to the potential for roadside activity. Given the relative density of Medieval archaeology within the wider 1km study area, there is considered to be a low potential for the survival of complex/significant archaeological features of this date within the bounds of the proposed development site. |
