Abstract: |
The results of a heritage impact appraisal and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land west of Coly Road, Colyford, Colyton, Devon. The layout of fields and roads in the area has changed very little since the 1840s, although the urban extent of Colyford has extended outwards from the historic core of the village. Colyford is medieval in origin and set within fields derived from a medieval open field system. The burgage plots of the medieval settlement, particularly across the western half of the village, are still prominent. The survey work and evaluations that have taken place in Colyford have produced medieval and later finds and features, with Prehistoric and Romano-British finds and sites in the wider area. However, no geophysical anomalies of archaeological significance were identified during the survey work, and thus the archaeological potential of the site is assessed as low-moderate. The magnitude of impact on these assets would be negligible and the overall assessment would therefore be neutral/slight; the cumulative impact is assessed as negative/minor. The impact of the development on any buried archaeological resource would be permanent/irreversible; however, the results of the geophysical survey would suggest archaeological features or deposits are largely absent. |
