Abstract: |
A number of cropmarks, indicative of the presence of below-ground archaeological remains, are known within the proposed development area and within the surrounding vicinity. The archaeological and historical significance of this site has previously been investigated by means of a desk-based assessment (Heppell 2004). In summary, the area of investigation includes cropmarks of two likely prehistoric ring-ditches (remains of burial mounds) and fragmentary remains of two further examples, a trackway of unknown date and other linear ditch-like features. Some of the linear ditches correlate with field boundaries marked on the 1st edition OS mapping, that have subsequently been in-filled. A late 18th century coal wharf is known to have once existed in the south-west corner of the proposed development area. |
