Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken at Hawling, Gloucestershire (NGR SP 06468 23102). It was undertaken on behalf of Western Power Distribution. The investigation is required due to proposals to lay a new high voltage underground electric cable in the vicinity of Hawling Medieval Village Scheduled Monument (ref. UID 1405912). The development is considered by to have the potential to affect the Scheduled Monument and other undesignated elements of the medieval village. The attractive village of Hawling lies on a slight north facing slope overlooking a valley in the north Cotswolds. To the north and east of the village, within the valley, a series of earthworks survive, a portion of which have been designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The earthworks comprise a series of house platforms, tofts and crofts, demonstrating that the village was much larger in the medieval period. A comprehensive historical study has been carried out which describes how the two manors of Hawling and Roel co-existed, with some of the inhabitants of Roel living immediately north of Hawling in what was known as Roelside. Following the Black Death and a period of economic change both manors began to suffer losses of tenantry, but while Roel and Roelside suffered a long period of decline before becoming totally deserted, Hawling survived as a shrunken settlement. The removal of overhead power-lines will have a positive impact on the setting of historic buildings within the village. Removal of poles and burial of the cable, however, has the potential to affect extant earthworks and buried deposits relating to the medieval settlements of Hawling and Roelside. Two alternative routes are presented within this document to mitigate and avoid disturbance to earthworks and buried deposits. The provision of a watching brief on the removal of poles and excavations for the cable line are recommended.
