Abstract:		 Report on Archaeological Desk Based Assessment on Land off Magpie Bottom Lane, Hanham as part of a pre-application for development of the site for housing. The site lies to the north of the former hamlet of Hanham, once part of the ancient parish of Bitton, and on the southern side of the plateau that was formerly Kingswood Forest. Formerly a Royal Forest, Kingswood was downgraded to a Royal Chase in the 13th century. Subsequent development of the area was piecemeal and largely fuelled by the presence of coal deposits at or near the surface, and by the late 17th century Kingswood Chase had been unofficially carved up between the local landowners. A study of the cartographic evidence indicated that the study area had been undeveloped land well into the 20th century, however with several early maps showing coal pits in the vicinity, there is a possibility of mining activity dating from the 17th to 19th centuries being present within the study area, in particular a chance of bell pits. A review of the archaeological evidence within a 500m radius of the study area found no records relating to the site; however no archaeological intervention has been carried out in the area, so the presence or absence of buried archaeological remains cannot be ascertained from a review of the documentary evidence alone.
