Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology undertook a Desk-based Assessment (DBA) and Walkover Survey of Land at Brancepeth in advance of an application for a proposed residential development. The site has been divided into two areas: Areas 1 for residential housing and Area 2 for open access area with SUDS and drainage. The DBA identified four existing sites within Area 2. These comprised three areas of ridge and furrow visible as earthworks and recorded by aerial photography and a substantial hollow way traversing the site, also revealed by aerial imagery and recorded as part of the topographic survey of the site. The walkover Survey identified further sites in Area 1 including a possible rectangular raised area, which may represent building remains and two possible linear 'platforms', which may relate to post-medieval field division or more recent landscaping of the site. Sites within a 1km radius were assessed in order to determine the potential for the discovery of unknown archaeological sites within the development area. While there are a number of prehistoric sites in the area, including flint scatters and a possible barrow, settlement in the area largely dates from the medieval period. Archaeological evidence includes a shrunken medieval village immediately to the west of the site and a further deserted medieval village at Stockley Burn to the south-east. There are also numerous examples of ridge and furrow surrounding Brancepeth village, primarily recorded through aerial photographs. Brancepeth Castle to the south of the site has 12th century origins as does the Church of St Brandon situated within its grounds. Most of the houses within the village are of 18th and 19th century date and originated as estate cottages as part of Brancepeth Park and Gardens, which is a Registered Historic Park as recorded by Historic England.
