Abstract: |
Border Archaeology was instructed to carry out an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment with regard to the proposed construction of a 3-storey building comprising two 2-bed residential units with ground floor undercroft parking at lands adjacent to 2-4 High Street, Cobham, Surrey KT11 3DZ. The archaeological potential of the proposal site has been assessed in overall terms as Low to Moderate, with particular reference to encountering archaeological remains of Romano-British and post-Medieval date. It is unlikely that buried remains dating to the Prehistoric or Medieval period will be encountered. The proposal site does lie within a High Archaeological Priority Area (AHAP). The site is located at the very northern extent of this area which is designated around the Medieval core of Church Cobham, Church Street. The area of potential was extended northwards to take into account the post-Medieval development of the area between Church Cobham (CA) and The Street Cobham, to the N of the proposal site. Cartographic sources indicate that development of the area surrounding the proposal site began during the mid-19th century. A boundary wall is depicted within the proposal site from 1914 onwards though the site has remained largely undeveloped to the present-day. Archaeological interventions which have occurred in the vicinity of the site have revealed evidence for the chronology of the development of this part of the Area of High Archaeological Potential. Recommendations: It is Border Archaeology’s considered opinion that, prima facie, the archaeological potential of the site does not present an impediment to the proposed development. Given the Low to Moderate potential of the site it is recommended that an appropriate programme of archaeological work, the details of which to be agreed with the Archaeological Officer, Historic Environment Planning Team, Surrey County Council, will be necessary to determine the extent, depth and significance of buried archaeological features and deposits across the site. |
