Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land at Broadleaze Farm, Winscombe and Sandford, North Somerset, in advance of a planning application. The site is located in the angle between the former Cheddar Valley Railway Line ('Strawberry Line'), and the settlement of Winscombe and Sandford. This is a landscape of high archaeological potential, with Prehistoric and Romano-British settlements and other remains located or reported in the local area. Winscombe is a medieval settlement, and part of the site lies within the enclosed medieval parkland attached the former Bishop of Wells palace at Banwell. The site inspection failed to identify significant archaeological remains within the area of the development, although the railway line and associated structures are located just to the west. The geophysical survey failed to identify any features of archaeological significance, with just one anomaly of possible archaeological or geological origin; modern services were identified in the western half of the site in Fields 2, 3 and 4. Despite the archaeological potential of this landscape, the geophysical survey would suggest the archaeological potential of the site is fairly low. Further archaeological works on this site, based on the results of the walkover and geophysical surveys, would appear unlikely to produce any meaningful result. |
