Abstract:		 This archaeological assessment was undertaken in accordance with best practice. The heritage assessment follows the guidance outlined in: Conservation Principles: policies and guidance for the sustainable management of the historic environment (English Heritage 2008), The Setting of Heritage Assets (Historic England 2015), Seeing History in the View (English Heritage 2011), Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Setting (Historic Scotland 2010), and with reference to Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 3rd Edition (Landscape Institute 2013). The impact assessment also follows the guidance outlined in the Principles of Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment in the UK produced by CIfA, IHBC and IEMA in July 2021. The geophysical (gradiometer) survey follows the guidance outlined in Geophysical Survey in Archaeological Field Evaluation (English Heritage 2008b); Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Geophysical Survey (CIfA 2014b); EAC Guidelines for the use of geophysics in Archaeology: Questions to Ask and Points to Consider (Europae Archaeologiae Consilium/European Archaeological Council 2016). The results of the survey will, as far as possible, inform on the presence or absence, character, extent and in some cases, apparent relative phasing of buried archaeology to inform a strategy to mitigate any threat to the archaeological resource. The geophysical survey (Stratascan 2014) identified a number of linear features which were considered to relate to field boundaries and footpaths. Modern anomalies of magnetic debris, ferrous objects etc were also recorded. The watching brief confirmed the presence of boundaries shown on the geophysical survey, several of which were also visible on historic mapping (Cotswold Archaeology 2015). The results of the geophysical survey would suggest that the archaeological potential for the site is moderate. The majority of the identified features relate to historic phases of field-system which are tentatively suggested as being medieval and post-medieval in date, though the presence of possible prehistoric settlement features on the site and within the surrounding landscape means that a prehistoric or Romano-British date cannot be ruled out. The overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as Moderate Adverse. Recommendations and proposed mitigation measures have been made as part of this assessment which have the potential to reduce the impact of the proposed development to Slight Adverse. The impact of the development on any buried archaeological resource would be irreversible. The archaeological sensitivity of the site may vary, with historic mapping and geophysical survey suggesting remnants of various phases of field systems are present across the site, along with the potential for prehistoric settlement. A staged programme of archaeological investigation would therefore serve as appropriate mitigation.
