Abstract: |
Resources have been consulted in the process of compiling this DBA include:
● Consulting the Bockhampton Rising Main Technical Note previously issued in July 20228
● a search of the Historic England National Heritage List for England (NHLE) dataset for designated heritage assets within the study area;
● a search of the West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) database for non-designated archaeological sites, find spots, historic landscape characterisation data and historic buildings within the study area;
● a site walkover, undertaken on the 1st to the 2nd August 2022 in order to determine the topography, existing land use and character of the area;
● an examination of local, regional and national planning policies in relation to the historic
environment;
● an examination of the British Geological Survey (BGS) data;
● an examination of Google Earth Pro, for historic images;
● an inspection of the cartographic evidence for the land use history of the Site;
● a search of the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) database for additional findspots within the study area;
● an examination of the relevant published and unpublished archaeological sources via the
Archaeological Data Service (ADS);
● other available online historic sources (identified in footnotes where relevant); and
● an assessment of relevant published and unpublished historical sources.
A full list of sources referenced is included within Section 8 of this report. This assessment has been carried out to assess the likely impacts of the Scheme upon the historic environment. This assessment has incorporated a review of the available data from the West Berkshire HER within the study area. The Scheme comprises the replacement of sections along the rising main pipeline. The temporary compound locations for the construction phase of the project have also been taken into consideration when assessing temporary impacts to built heritage assets.
There are likely to be no permanent impacts on the significance of any built heritage assets, it is not anticipated that the proposed works will result in any physical changes to the assets or alteration to their settings. Various sources including, but not limited to, the National Heritage List of England (NHLE), the West Berkshire Historic Environment Records (HER), the British Geological Survey (BGS), historic mapping, literature available online and excavation reports
have been consulted whilst compiling this DBA. The assessment has identified 96 designated heritage assets within the 1km study area, including two scheduled monuments, three conservation areas, nine grade II* listed buildings and 82 grade II listing buildings. There are no World Heritage Sites, registered parks and gardens, within the study area.
The archaeological potential of the Site ranges from low to medium-high. There is a low potential for all Periods, except the medieval period. Prehistoric agricultural remains are likely to survive in those areas determined as medium to high potential. There is the potential for archaeological remains to survive beneath the level of the ploughsoil. Any development at this
location is therefore likely to impact potential buried archaeological remains, should they be present. Any remains that survive would be of varying significance, depending on the nature of the archaeology. |
