Abstract: |
The assessment has been carried out according to the Standard and Guidance for archaeological desk-based
assessment published by the Institute for Archaeologists (subsequently the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists). Sources consulted for this assessment included the Historic Environment Record (HER), modern aerial photography, cartographic and other sources in the Buckinghamshire County Record Office and other secondary sources. HER data is shown although some general records, and a few relating to modern features of no relevance to the assessment (e.g. the railway station, 19th- and 20th-century buildings in Princes Risborough, etc.), have been omitted.
This assessment was undertaken with reference to relevant legislation, National Planning Policy and Guidance, and Regional and Local Planning Policy relating to Cultural Heritage. There is a moderate chance that archaeological deposits associated with later prehistoric and Roman occupation will be disturbed by the proposed new build. In view of the proximity to the Scheduled Anglo-Saxon cemetery, there is a high possibility of Anglo-Saxon settlement remains in the area, although it is not possible to be specific about individual sites. Such evidence would, however, be very important as the nature of early settlement in this period is, even now, still not fully understood. Any medieval or early post-medieval evidence will relate to agricultural use, and be of little significance. Preservation of any archaeological features is likely to be moderate to poor. |
