Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken on behalf of Severn Trent-Haswell of Roundhill Access Road, Kinver, South Staffordshire (centred on NGR ref SO 8670 8335). There are no known archaeological sites within the study area, although a small number of prehistoric and Roman sites are known within the vicinity, including a Roman Road to the north-east. The site comprises Whittington Common, north-east of the medieval village. The fields alongside the modern A449 were enclosed piecemeal and may have been put to strip farming in the medieval period, although there are no traces of ridge and furrow. The fields to the east were enclosed by Act of Parliament in the late 18th or early 19th century. In the late 19th and early 20th century the fields were taken over for use as a sewage farm - a modern sludge destruction plant (SDP) and sewage plant lie on the north side of the area. Nearby are the Grade II listed buildings of Whittington Hall, its dovecote and barn, along with a World War Two decoy bunker. The western section of Gibbet Lane, to the north is the site, may form part of a medieval or earlier holloway. There are ten options under review for the access road. The route along the east section of Gibbet Lane and those across the fields are considered not to have any significant impact on known archaeological remains. However, that along Whittington Hall Lane will have a moderate adverse effect on the setting of the listed buildings, and the route along the western section of Gibbet Lane will have a minor adverse impact on the possible holloway. In mitigation it is recommended that a watching brief be undertaken of the groundworks associated with the selected option, with a contingency to allow for further investigation if needed.
