Abstract: |
The archaeological desk-based assessment will comprise a study of all known historic, cartographic and archaeological records for the site of the proposed sewer works, as well as a site visit.
The following actions will be undertaken to gather the baseline and establish the archaeological
potential of the area of the study area:
● A search of the Gloucestershire Historic Environment Record (GHER) database for archaeological sites and events within a 500m buffer of the proposed route.
● A review of the aerial survey transcription of the Leadon Valley and Forest of Dean National
Mapping Programme (NMP) projects (to be obtained from the GHER).
● A review of advanced visualisation models created from Environment Agency 2m lidar data.
● A search of the NRHE database for archaeological sites and events within a 500m buffer of the proposed route.
● A review of sources held within the Gloucestershire Archives.
● A search of the Historic England National Heritage List for England (NHLE) database for designated heritage assets within 500m of the proposed route.
● A map regression exercise looking at the cartographic evidence for the land use history of
the site.
● An examination of topographical and geological evidence.
● An assessment of relevant published and unpublished archaeological sources.
● An examination of local, regional and national planning policies in relation to archaeology
and heritage.
● A site visit including a walkover of all areas of the proposed route where access is possible. The location of the proposed works lies within an area of known settlement activity dating from the prehistoric and Roman periods, particularly the potentially nationally significant remains in the vicinity of the Newent Business Park, at the northern end of the scheme. Known nearby archaeological features from later periods include the scheduled medieval defended site of Taynton Parva, at the southern end of the scheme, as well as the medieval or post-medieval
farmstead or settlement remains at Malswick, on the northern side of the B4215.
All work will be undertaken in accordance with the principles of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologist’s Standard and guidance for historic environment desk-based assessment (2017), and the Gloucestershire County Council Archaeology Service Brief for a desk-based archaeological assessment (2017) |
