Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was undertaken at Lawnstone House and Annex, Coleford, Gloucestershire (NGR SO 5750 1057). It was undertaken on behalf of Forest of Dean District Council, who intends to demolish the existing buildings and redevelop the site. The assessment identified there is limited potential for prehistoric, Roman and early medieval remains. The site is located adjacent to the historic core of Coleford, which has its origins in the medieval period and developed through the post-medieval period. There is a high potential that the medieval and later settlement and/or other activity extended into the proposed development area. There is also evidence that extensive undated, but probably medieval or earlier, industrial remains exist to the south and east of the site at Cinder Hill. There is moderate potential for similar activity to have extended into the proposed development site. The site is currently occupied by Lawnstone House and Annex. These buildings probably date to the early 19th century, although they have undergone significant alterations, both internally and externally. It is recommended that a programme of archaeological mitigation be considered in advance of demolition and redevelopment. This should take the form of a photographic survey of the historic buildings; monitoring of the groundworks associated with the demolition of the buildings, and evaluation with trial trenches of the relatively undisturbed areas of the site. |
