Abstract: |
AB Heritage Ltd was commissioned to undertake an Archaeological Desk Based Assessment for a site at Doniford Road, Watchet, Somerset. Based on the known historical development of the proposed development site and surrounding study area and the presence of features within the proposed development boundary, it is concluded that there is a potential for the recovery of archaeological remains within the limits of the proposed development. This may take the form of Prehistoric - Roman features relating to the ditched enclosures [AB 12 and 13] adjacent to the site and additional features of this date within the surrounding study area, including a Romano-British settlement [AB 14]. There is a perceived low potential for the recovery of features of this date, which may be of local to regional importance at most. There is also potential for the recovery of remains relating to the Second World War use of the site, including buried remains of Liddymore Camp [AB 37], ammunition debris, and a pillbox [AB 40]. Additional Modern features which are known to be situated within the proposed development site include a limekiln [AB 39], and two quarry features [AB 54 and 55]. There is a high potential for the recovery of these features, which may be of local importance at most. |
