Abstract: |
This document is an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment that forms an Appendix of an Evironmental Impact Assessment for the proposed western extension of Hatford Quarry (NGR SU 3275 9570) prepared for Earthline Limited c/o Stephen Bowley Planning Consultancy. The site lies in a landscape that contains a semi-nucleated Iron Age settlement up the Sandy Lane Ridge. This Iron Age settlement pattern coalesced into a Roman nucleated town at Chinham Farm that lies about 1km from the proposal site adjacent to the A417. The proximity of this small Roman market town means that associated satellite agricultural field systems, settlement sites (including villas) are to be found in a higher than normal concentration in the vicinity of the Frogmore Book and the Sandy Lane ridge. Aerial photographs showed that there are potentially cropmarks located on the proposal site that may form part of this Iron Age settlement or later Roman activity. Suggestions are made for the mitigation strategy. |
