Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology was commissioned to produce a desk-based assessment (DBA) for a proposed solar farm on land near Nuneham Courtenay, Oxfordshire (henceforth the proposed development area (PDA)). This DBA forms the baseline for an Environmental Impact Assessment. It is considered that groundworks for the construction of the new solar park and battery storage facility, new access roads, new utility trenches and new landscaping works will physically impact any previously unknown archaeological remains that may be present within the PDA. Remains associated with a nearby Roman pottery production site of national importance may be present within the western part of the PDA, and remains of Romano-British settlement may be present in the north of the PDA. Remains of a post-medieval barn associated with Nineveh Farm may be present within Field 2. Further information on the nature of buried archaeological remains could be obtained through further investigation such as further aerial photograph analysis or examination of the National Mapping Programme (NMP) data and geophysical survey. The assessment has found that there is potential for the proposed solar farm to impact on the significance of the Registered Park and Garden of Nuneham House, a detailed setting assessment will form part of the ES.
