Introduction
This publication represents the nineteenth in a series of Gazetteers that aim
to provide an easily accessible annual listing of information about the nature
and extent of archaeological investigations carried out in England. The series
was developed from The Assessment Gazetteer 1982-1991, which was
issued as as British Archaeological Bibliography Supplement (no.1) in
October 1994. It was quickly realised that The Assessment Gazetteer 198291 was very limited in scope, it only dealt with Archaeological investigations
directly related to the Town and Country Planning system in England, i.e.
desk-based assessments, field evaluations, and environmental assessments.
The present series is more ambitious, by encompassing other kinds of
intervention types that involve some degree of ground disturbance which
results in the recording and, in consequence, the destruction of archaeological
deposits. As the project has progressed other forms of archaeological
investigations have also been included in its remit; this not only expanded the
criteria for how archaeology was undertaken, but included more detail of why
archaeological recording was carried out i.e. as part of a building recording or
estate management plan.
This latest Gazetteer has been compiled as the principal output of the
Archaeological Investigations Project (AIP), carried out in the School of
Conservation Sciences at Bournemouth University for English Heritage
between April 2009 and March 2010. An analysis of the main trends in the
pattern of archaeological activity in England will be published as a separate
report in due course. Information about AIP and its background can be found
on the World Wide Web at the following address:

Background:
investigations
The
listing
of
archaeological
The publication of systematic annual gazetteers of archaeological
investigations in England is neither new nor innovatory, but long overdue. In
the early years of the present century the Earthworks Committee of the
Congress of Archaeological Societies included within its annual report listings
of "record and discovery" and "excavation" events. These reports were
published for the years from 1903 down to 1939 (from 1931 to 1939 as the
Research Committee) and contain much valuable information. Nothing similar
was produced in the years immediately following the Second World War,
however in 1961 the Ministry of Public Building and Works began publication
of Excavations: Annual Report, a practice continued by its successor the
Department of the Environment, down to 1976. The Council for British
Archaeology published an annual review under the title Archaeology in Britain
between 1967 and 1992, although its coverage focused on, and was
structured around, the work of member organisations and institutions rather
than sites and projects.
Some of the major "period" societies also began publishing annual listings of
work falling within their particular academic areas of interest. Medieval
Archaeology has since 1957 carried a section dealing with recent work; PostMedieval Archaeology since its first publication in 1968; and Britannia since its
first publication in 1970, building on a precedent established for Roman
studies and published in the Journal of Roman Studies between 1921 and
1969. Nothing so comprehensive ever emerged for prehistoric archaeology,
although the Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society carried a section
containing summary excavation reports for most years between 1977 and
1985.
In recent years, a number of county archaeological journals have begun
carrying listings of discoveries and summaries of projects within their
geographical areas of interest. At a broader scale, many of the Council for
British Archaeology's regional groups publish lists of recent work in their
newsletters/annual reviews.
All of these summaries and reviews provide invaluable sources of information
about projects and discoveries. They are important both for the time at which
they are published and in a retrospective or historical context. Indeed, for a
variety of reasons, some of these summaries are all that is known about
investigations that have never been adequately published. The reality,
however, is that since 1939 there has been no comprehensive summary of
completed and ongoing archaeological work for England. Trying to stitch
together what does exist in piecemeal summary listing is not easy and in any
case does not give a complete picture. This situation contrasts with that in
Scotland and Wales, where comprehensive annual summaries have been
published by the Council for Scottish Archaeology since 1955 and the Council
for British Archaeology Group 2/Wales since 1961.
The need for a summary account of work in England is made still more
necessary by the sheer pace and scale of archaeological activity, and the
common interest shared by all archaeologists in wishing to know what has
happened where and when, so as to better inform their work and alert them to
the implications of their findings. In the case of minor investigations with
limited positive results, the publication of a statement in an annual summary,
together with an appropriate report to the relevant Sites and Monuments
Record may satisfy professional obligations to publish and make available the
results of work undertaken.
Content, scope, sources and format
A wide range of archaeological investigations were considered by AIP, and
these investigations can be broadly classified according to the nature of the
work itself. Eight main groups are recognised, and in this classification use is
made of definitions and guidance contained in planning guidance (DoE 1990)
and the series of "standards" issued by the Institute of Field Archaeologists.
I
Desk-Based Assessments (Database Code B): Assessments of the
known or potential archaeological resource within a specified area or
site (land-based, inter-tidal or underwater), consisting of a collation of
existing written and graphic information in order to identify the likely
character, extent, quality and worth of the known or potential
archaeological resource in a local, regional or national context as
appropriate (IFA 1994a, 1; and see DoE 1990, para. 20).
II
Field Evaluations (Database Code C): A limited programme of nonintrusive and/or intrusive fieldwork which determines the presence or
absence of archaeological features, structures, deposits, artefacts or
ecofacts within a specified area or site (land-based, inter-tidal or
underwater). If archaeological remains are present, field evaluation
defines their character and extent, and relative quality; and it enables
an assessment of their worth in a local, regional, national or
international context as appropriate (IFA 1994b, 1; and see DoE 1990,
para. 21).
III
Environmental Assessments (Database Code D): These are
programmes of work carried out under the terms of the European
Directive 85/337/EEC and council directive 97/11/EC (implemented in
the UK as Town and Country Planning (Assessment of Environmental
Effects) Regulations 1988 (SI 1199) and The Town and Country
Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 1999 (SI
No.29), respectively), and often combine desk-based assessment and
field evaluation.
IV
Other Investigations (Database Code E): This embraces a wide
range of archaeological investigation types, which mainly fall into two
groups in terms of their rationale. First are "post-determination" events
such as open-area excavations, watching briefs, recorded observations
and building surveys that are carried out under the terms of a planning
condition or agreement of some kind in advance of development; this
work is sometimes collectively referred to as "rescue archaeology".
Second are excavations and surveys of various sorts that are
undertaken outwith the requirements of the Town and Country
Planning system; investigations falling within this second group are
sometimes referred to as "research" excavations, but this is a
misnomer since all archaeological investigations are pieces of
research.
V
Estate Management Surveys (Database Code F): These will be
similar in nature to a desk-based assessment for development
purposes, but relates instead to the production of a defined-purpose
management plan. Such work is likely to include documentary
research, inspection of existing records, walkover inspection surveys
and perhaps some limited fieldwalking or geophysical surveys.
VI
Building Recording (Database Code G): Archaeological Building
Investigation and Recording is defined as a programme of work
intended to establish the character, history, dating, form and
archaeological development of a specified building, or structure, or
complex and its setting, including its buried components, on land or
under water (IFA 1996, 1).
VII
Geophysical investigations (Database event signifier H): To
include the following types of archaeological investigation:
Electromagnetic survey, Ground penetrating radar, Magnetic
susceptibility, Magnetometer, Microgravity, Resistivity, Resistivity depth
sounding, Resistivity profile, Seismic Refraction
VIII
Maritime
investigations
(Database
event
signifier
M):
Archaeological maritime investigations for the most part, use broadly
similar land-based archaeological techniques that have been adapted
for use underwater (The marine archaeological resource, IFA 2000). As
well as intrusive archaeological techniques and visual surveys
Geophysical and other remote techniques have also developed for use
in an underwater environment. Areas of estuary and intertidal areas
have been included under this designation.
Apart from desk-based assessments forming part of the development control
process, or archaeological building recording other kinds of non-interventional
survey have been omitted, unless they are reported alongside interventional
events. One obvious example of this split is with geophysical surveys which
are sometimes carried out as discrete events while in other cases as part of
multi-method study. A further listing of geophysical surveys was compiled by
English Heritage, and is available on the World Wide Web at:
http://sdb2.eng-h.gov.uk/
Three main sources were used in identifying and tracking down information
about completed and ongoing projects. First, and by far the most important
source, were reports and records inspected during visits to archaeological
contractors and curators in every county. Second were published listings and
summaries of projects undertaken. And third were completed returns of pro
forma report sheets circulated to local societies, Universtity departments, and
organisations which could not be visited by research staff from the AIP.
Throughout this work the emphasis has been on archaeological projects that
have been completed during the year, no matter how large or small they may
have been. In the case of long term projects spanning several years, the
archaeological works actually carried out in the year covered by the particular
Gazetteer are listed.
Most of the reports summarised here are circulated typescript or loose-bound
volumes prepared on a desk-top publishing system. Few of them have ISBN
numbers, and their circulation is typically restricted. Within the sphere of
commercial archaeology at least, most were produced for clients in support of
planning applications, as background papers for public consultation, or in
fulfilment of planning conditions or agreements. No details of availability or
cost are provided, but the name of the issuing authority is given wherever
possible. Neither English Heritage nor the originators of this Gazetteer are
able to supply copies or extracts of any of these reports (except those for
which they are themselves the issuing authority), and any enquiries about the
reports listed should be addressed directly to the relevant issuing authority.
The details given are as full as may be permitted from scrutiny of the reports
themselves or from information supplied by authors, issuing authorities, or,
exceptionally, summary sources. Wherever given, the site name is as set out
in the report, as are National Grid References. The bibliographic reference
follows the style established by the British and Irish Archaeological
Bibliography. Where no specific author is identified on the report's title page
(or elsewhere in the report) the term "Anon" or the name of the relevant
investigating body is used in place of the author's name. Where no exact title
for a report has been supplied by the issuing authority a substitute title
enclosed in square brackets has been given (e.g. [Report on an evaluation at
Windcott Hill]).
Wherever possible the author's own summary has been used in whole or in
part, but where this is not available a short abstract of the report has been
prepared by a member of the AIP team. These abstracts should be regarded
as general statements of what the referenced report contains. While every
effort has been made to check details of sources and the content of
summaries, the Gazetteer originators accept absolutely no responsibility for
errors or inaccuracies in the material presented. The listings are intended
as fair guides to what is available rather than a set of definitive
statements. Accordingly, the original documentation should always be
checked if it is to be referred to in publications or discussion.
Where possible, SMR reference numbers have been included in the entries,
but at the time of the visits made to collect data many reports had yet to be
entered into the relevant SMR system and so had not in consequence had a
number assigned to them. The format of the entries is detailed further in the
section below entitled “Anatomy of a typical Gazetteer entry: guidance notes
for users”.

The area proposed for development was, in the 18th century, part of
Nutwood Common. The site was semi-wooded and was used for hunting
from the 16th century. The common was enclosed by Act of Parliament in
1780. By 1920 the area had become a partially landscaped garden for
Appleton House, a purpose-built Rest Home. The arrangement of the
grounds was designed for psychotherapeutic reasons, permitting walking,
games and picnicking. As well as the remains of the modern landscape
garden features, cartographic sources indicated remnants of medieval
ridge and furrow. No areas of certain ancient woodland were identified.

Gazetteer entry number for investigation: Each investigation entry for the
1999 Gazetteer volume has a unique individual number with two elements:
the Gazetteer Section Number in which the investigation record is
contained and a serial number. These numbers should be used to enable
the location of each investigation within the volume using the author,
investigator and period/dating indexes provided at the end of the
Gazetteer volume.
 Archaeological Investigation Project database reference number for the
relevant investigation record (for internal AIP use only)
 National Grid Reference: An eight figure grid reference prefixed by the
relevant National Grid letters has been recorded where provided in the
reports, etc. accessed.
Site/project name and location: The name of the site or development
project, giving some indication of its location, is given.
 Report title : The full title of the report relating to the investigation is given.;
in the case of an "unpublished" monograph-type report of the kind
illustrated this may include an internal report number, if recorded. Square
brackets are used to indicate either that the title has been "made-up" by a
member of the project team because the document referenced lacked a
formal title, or that a document with the title given (or something closely
approximating to it) is known to exist but was not actually inspected by a
member of the project team.
 Other publication details: Normally comprises the name of the
organisation/individual responsible for authoring or editing the report,
followed by the place of issue/publication, the name of the organisation
responsible for issue/publication, the year of issue/publication and a
description of the physical format of the document including the total
number of pages, and the presence of figures, tables, plates etc. (see
abbreviations for codes used). Occasionally, where the report represents
an article in a published monograph or serial, or where a summary
abstract has been obtained from a ‘secondary source’ and the original
report has not been seen, the name of the originator of the article,
monograph, or summary note will be given followed by a ‘Source Number’,
the relevant page, and a description of the content of the article/summary
note (presence of figures, plates, tables etc.). The 1999 project did not
encounter any instances of this.

Square brackets are used in Gazetteer entries to indicate either that
information was not available or recorded for the relevant part of the
Gazetteer entry, or that due to the nature of the source material, a significant

Acknowledgements
The Archaeological Investigations Project was funded by English Heritage
In carrying out the Archaeological Investigations Project and compiling this
Gazetteer the project team would like to thank all those who have contributed
information, facilitated access to archives and libraries, and responded to
enquiries, especially all the County Archaeological Officers, SMR Officers, the
National Trust, the English Heritage Signposting team and staff of
archaeological contracting units and consultancies around the country. Many
local archaeological societies are now also regular contributors to the project
as well as University departments involved in fieldwork, so thanks to them
also.

The application site was located in the west of Derby city centre, situated at the
junction of Ford Street and Agard Street. The site was occupied by Nos. 4-6 Agard
Street in the north of the site with a concrete yard to the rear. The western area of the
site was in use as a car park. A set of locally Listed horse tram rails were located in
the north-west of the proposed development site. While c.100m to the east was an
archaeological Alert Area, defining the known extent of the medieval settlement of
Derby. The site was located within the Friar Gate Conservation Area, while a number
of Statutory Listed Buildings had been identified adjacent to the site boundary.
However, since these were being assessed in a separate Heritage Statement, they were
not considered within the remit of this report. For this reason the precise nature and
extent of potential archaeological deposits within the site limit could not be
confirmed, though based on the available evidence there was considered to be a low
potential for significant below ground archaeological evidence dating to the
prehistoric, Roman and early medieval periods, a medium potential for significant
below ground evidence dating to the medieval period and a high potential for
evidence dating to the post-medieval period. [Au(abr)]

Remains of ridge and furrow from medieval field systems could have once extended
across the site. Throughout the early post-medieval period, until the 19th century, the
study area was likely to have been in agricultural use. Redeposited building material,
revealed by borehole date to underlie the modern surface over much of the study area
and adjacent land to the south, probably represented demolished 19th century
buildings which formerly stood there. Surviving upstanding remains to impacted
within the study area and requiring further consideration consisted of a former postmedieval Timber Yard and two adjoining buildings. [Au(abr)]

There was limited evidence for any archaeological activity in the study area. The only
findspot within the site boundaries was a Roman coin hoard found in 1748. The 18th
and 19th centuries saw the development of the coal and iron industries in the study
area, as well as the construciton of new canals and railways. For the most part, the
proposed development would have a negligible impact on the limited archaeological
resources. [Au(abr)]

The proposed redevelopment would likely entail the demolition of the structure which
may date from as early as the 1790s with subsequent rebuilding in the 1840s and
1860-61. The rock faces forming the perimeter of the Vale House site had been
altered or created by quarrying and revealed various fissure caves and fissures which
may have represented part of once large features removed or covered by the
quarrying. It was though the current condition of the building was detrimental to the
setting of other Listed Cotton Mills and the two lodge houses and Conservation Area.

LAND OFF MANSFIELD ROAD, TIBSHELF
An Archaeological Desk-based Assessment for Land off Mansfield Road, Tibshelf,

Hunt, L
The assessment found that the site lay close to archaeological remains of a Bronze
Age site, however, the entire area may have been an open-cast mine during the 1960s.
There was therefore thought to be a low potential for archaeological remains of all
periods to be discovered during groundworks on the site. [Au(abr)]

FIN COP HILLFORT
Fin Cop Hillfort An Archaeological Desk-based Assessment
Brightman, J Bakewell : Archaeological Research Services, 2009, 59pp, colour pls,
figs, tabs, refs
Work undertaken by: Archaeological Research Services
The site contained archaeological remains dating to a variety of periods, much of
which were still visible above ground. Alongside the known and visible hillfort
defences and cairns, previous limited fieldwalking and finds collection showed there
was good potential for worked stone artefacts to be preserved in the topsoil. There
was clear preservation of earthworks relating to the hillfort although the condition was
variable due to both natural subsistence and also robbing of the limestone from the
ramparts. In some areas it was likely that there would be preservation of the primary
ditch silts and potentially pre-hillfort land surfaces. In the southern field containing
remains of the rampart, the preservation was less visible as ridge and furrow, due to
ploughing, and the ditch was nearly invisible in places. It was likely that there was
little soil coverage at the summit of Fin Cop due to natural soil erosion this suggested
that there was a low chance of preservation of sub surface features within the hillfort
interior. [Au(abr)]

CENTRAL HOUSE, GREAT CENTRAL STREET, LEICESTER
An Archaeological Desk-based Assessment at Central House, Great Central Street,
Leicester
The assessment for the proposed conversion and extension of the building indicated
that it lay within an area of high archaeological potential. The site lay within the
north-western quarter of the Roman and medieval town, where considerable
settlement and defensive evidence had been found in the past. The potential for the
discovery of remains of this date was therefore likely to be high. Although the
conversion works would only affect previously developed areas, the extension at the
rear of the building may have had the potential to impact previously unrecorded
remains. The apparent lack of cellars suggested the possibility of good levels of
preservation of archaeological remains, although the possibility of disturbance from
medieval pitting remained. [Au(abr)]

The assessment determined that while the proposed development would largely cover
areas that had been previously developed, the new college buildings may extend into
the northern part of the playing fields, which were far more likely to contain buried
archaeological remains. There was, therefore, moderate potential for Iron Age and
Roman archaeological remains to be discovered during any groundworks associated

milestone, discovered in 1771 on the site. Much of the proposed development would
be situated on areas that had previously been built over and as a result there was
predicted to be limited detrimental impacts to any Roman remains on the site.

dry pond of uncertain date as well as faint ridge and furrow associated with medieval
field systems. A small concrete building may also have been related to the quarry.

The assessment demonstrated that the site had the potential to be rich in
archaeological remains. Late Neolithic/Bronze Age flint scatters, a Roman road
known as the Saltway, other Roman sites and post-medieval lime kilns were all
known from the surrounding area. Lime pits associated with the kilns were thought to
have been in use until the early 20th century, and where these had encroached into the
site itself, archaeological remains may have been compromised. However, for the
most part, where recent truncation had not impacted within the study area, survival of
any remains was predicted to be good. [Au(adp)]

The assessment found no evidence for remains from the prehistoric or Roman periods

years, the use of the site for arable farming had given the chance to yield chance finds,
but nothing was recovered. This, together with the absence of evidence from the site,
made it unlikely that significant archaeological remains would be recovered.

The site was found to be located in close proximity to a number of known

the site had been heavily ploughed in recent years, map evidence had shown very
little development since the 19th century, and any below-ground archaeological
remains were likely to be relatively well-preserved and close to the surface. A
structure on the site known as Peat's Barn may have dated to the 16th/17th century.

Existing archaeological data did not suggest that there was anything on the site.
Historic maps and documents showed that the land was enclosed as pasture to its
current layout in 1780, previous to which it had comprised agricultural land as early
as 1633, probably much earlier. It formerly contained medieval furlongs in the East
Field of Little Bowden, and the ridge and furrow plough cultivation regime was
preserved by Enclosure. It was still surviving in an aerial photograph of 1945. During
the 19th century a large clay pit was dug in the north-west quadrant of the site,
serving an adjacent brickworks. This had since been filled in. Geophysical survey

An archaeological desk-based assessment of land at Walcote Lodge was undertaken.
The site was part of a garden associated with Walcote Lodge. There was significant
prehistoric activity in the vicinity of the development area including significant flint
scatters dating from the Mesolithic to Bronze Age, earthworks and cropmarks of
Bronze Age barrows and cropmarks of Late Bronze Age to Early/Mid Iron Age pit
alignments and later prehistoric enclosures. No associated finds or features had been
found within the development area but this was likely to be due to a lack of
investigation and it is possible that further below-ground prehistoric activity may be
present here. There was a single site recorded in the Leicestershire Historic
Environment Record that fell within the development area, that of the medieval and
post-medieval settlement core of Walcote, although it is likely that the development
area was part of back plots associated with houses fronting onto Brook Street. Map
evidence suggested that the site has been used for agricultural purposes or as a garden
since at least the 18th century, suggesting that earlier below ground archaeological
remains may still survive. [Au(abr)]

Dubber, J
Loughborough : Trigpoint Conservation & Planning Ltd., 2009, 24pp,
Work undertaken by: Trigpoint Conservation and Planning Ltd.
A desk-based assessment was undertaken in advance of the proposed development at
nos. 5-11 Market Place, Whitwick. The site had been identified as an area of
archaeological potential due to its position within the historic settlement core and its
proximity to the former castle site [a Scheduled Ancient Monument] and the site of
the market, which was granted in the 13th century. The study area had been occupied
by buildings since at least the late 18th century. Archaeological evidence from the
area was very limited and primarily consisted of three undated burials discovered in
1891 and the remains of post-medieval ancillary buildings at nearby Vicarage Street.
The desk-based archaeological assessment revealed that the site had several phases of
development, and as a result it was likely that any surviving archaeology will have
been disturbed. Although the apparent lack of later disturbance in the vicinity of the
main frontage building at nos. 5 & 7 Market Place indicated that there may be a high
potential for medieval and post-medieval archaeology in this area. It was therefore
recommended that a watching brief be maintained at the site. [Au(abr)]

A desk-based assessment was undertaken of Wyndham House. Although little
archaeological work had been undertaken within the village, there was a carved stone
in the churchyard, originally part of a Roman arch, possibly suggesting Roman
activity in the vicinity. Also present in the churchyard are a number of 9th and 10th
century Saxon carved stones, which may be related to a possible shrine here. The
church itself was built in the mid-10th century. Attendant Saxon settlement may have
extended into the gardens of Wyndham House. There are a number of medieval
earthworks situated around the church, largely the remains of the early manorial site,
including a possible motte mound, enclosure earthworks and a fishpond. Wyndham
House was formerly the rectory and was built in the early 18th century to replace the
old rectory, now known as the Dower House (which is situated to the south). Maps of
the house show that it retained its basic plan form until at least 1773, but by 1839 the
central part of the original L-shape had been infilled by an extension and the southfacing bay window had been inserted. Pencil sketches drawn by George Clarke at
some point in the mid-19th century show the house much as it is presently, with the 2storey bay windows and the stone gabled porch. However, a conservatory and flatroofed dormer windows present to each of the side of the house are no longer there.
The western end of the northern range appeared to have been demolished sometime
after the mid-20th century. While the brick-domed top of the structure in the garden
looked like an ice-house, unusually there does not appear to be any reference to the
ice-house or well in any of the documents or maps. [Au(abr)]

The rear of the property was a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 11507) which
comprises a block of land surrounded by areas of previous open area archaeological
excavation. To the north lay Furnells manor, occupied from the 6th to 15th centuries.
To the west and south the Langham Road site included elements of settlement,
boundary ditches and timber buildings from the 7th to 15th centuries. Further
evidence of early/middle Saxon occupation and late Saxon and medieval settlement
might lie within the development area. A boundary ditch system of late Saxon origin,
which probably continued in use into the medieval period and related to the division
of the manorial plot into several separate smaller plots, should cross the western end
of the proposed development area. By the end of the 12th century buildings were
possibly being relocated eastwards as part of the Rotton Row frontage. To the
immediate south of the proposed development there lay a post-medieval metalled
track running east-west, which probably respected the line of an earlier trackway that
separated Furnells manor from lower-status properties to the south. [Au(abr)]

settlement and field systems. Throughout the historic period, the site had been in
agricultural use, although the character of the historic landscape changed radically in
the 18th and 19th century when the Medieval open fields were enclosed, creating the

The site was currently a house and garden and no part of it fell within, or was adjacent

the Northamptonshire Historic Environment Record that related to this site: a sand

Garage which lay to the immediate west. The historic map evidence shows that the
site was already established as a sand pit or quarry by the first quarter of the 17th

The study area may have been found to have evidence for activity within the
Prehistoric or Romano-British periods, but nothing relating to activity in these periods
was recorded in the vicinity of the study area. The proximity of the study area to the
River Leen suggested that there could have been activity here in the AngloSaxon/medieval and early post-medieval periods, but this could not be demonstrated.
The Historic Settlement Area of Bulwell, included the whole of the study area, and
supported this possibility. A corn mill stood here in the 19th century, and it may
possibly have had a precursor, but there was no evidence for this. By the early 19th
century, a number of modest dwelling houses stood along the Coventry Road
frontage, with a Baptist Chapel to the north-west of the present chapel. A Corn Mill
straddled the River Leen, with associated outbuildings running westwards. All of
these buildings were swept away during road-widening in the 1930s, and none of the

An assessment was carried out as part of a pre-planning enquiry. No archaeological
remains had been reported from within the proposed quarrying area, but cropmarks
indicated the presence of buried ditches, thought to represent two enclosures. A
possible early medieval territorial boundary ditch was identified. A small number of
Palaeolithic and Mesolithic remains had been reported from the adjacent sites of the
former Steetley limestone quarry, brickworks and colliery. These indicated human
activity, although no satisfactory evidence for occupation of the caves was
forthcoming. Residual fragments of medieval woodland existed on the edge of the
proposal area. There was also a medieval mill site that may have been larger at one
time located just outside the study area. There was considered to be a moderate to
high potential for archaeological remains to be located within the site. On the basis of
the known resource, these were likely to be of local or regional rather than national
importance. In the event that planning consent for development of the site was

industrial/commercial premises in the western section of the site, rough grassland in
the central section, and further light industrial/commercial premises in the east of the
site. The proposed development scheme comprised the demolition of all existing
structures and features and the construction of a Part 1/Part 2 storey retail store with
associated service yard, car park and petrol station. Bingham Conservation Area was
located c.120m to the south-east of the proposed development site and the Scheduled
Monument of Bingham Henge was located c.70m to the north of the proposed
development site. Based upon the available evidence, there was considered to be a
medium to high potential for evidence of significant archaeological activity dating
from the prehistoric periods, a low to medium potential for evidence of significant
archaeological activity dating from the Roman periods, and a low potential for
evidence of significant archaeological activity dating to the early medieval, medieval
and post-medieval periods. [Au(abr)]

the vicinity of the site. However, since the area had not been the subject of any
systematic investigation, there was a possibility that remains had been under recorded.

site lay within an area of extensive and important archaeological remains dating from
the prehistoric to medieval periods. Large scale archaeological investigation had been
undertaken in advance of development to the east within the Biddenham Loop, where
multi-phase archaeological remains were discovered, and to the south at Church
Road, where a nucleated Roman settlement was found. Closer to the development
area, an undated human skeleton was found less than 50m to the south in the 19th
century. It was not known whether it was an isolated inhumation, or part of a larger
cemetery. Map evidence suggested that the site had been in agricultural use since at

A desk-based assessment was conducted of land at Float Fish Farm. The assessment
updated previous assessments carried out in 2005 and 2007 and included details of
fieldwork conducted on the site in 2007. The assessment included a new proposed
development area, located within the former fen, and was situated immediately to the
south of the area evaluated by trial trenching in 2007. The latter excavation found no
archaeological features and only one unstratified Early Bronze Age Beaker sherd. The
site was located between two areas of higher ground, a fen ‘"island" to the west
containing two Bronze Age ring ditches, and a "peninsula" to the east containing a
Scheduled round barrow which led up to prehistoric settlement sites including
Bradley Fen/King’s Dyke. A concentration of mainly Roman features and finds,
including a ditch, pottery and metalwork, and possible burials, were located
approximately 500 metres north-east of the assessment site. The presence of Roman
finds around Horsey, 1km to the north, and burials at Palmer’s Barn some 0.75km to
the west, also attested to Roman settlement in the area, while the Fen Causeway
passed to the north of the site, leading past further burials and a probable Roman
settlement at Whittlesey. The date of the initial creation of Oakley Dike, which
formed the north-eastern boundary of the assessment area was unknown, but predated
the mid 13th century. Roman and early medieval dates were considered plausible, but
in the 17th century, the feature was thought to have been created by King Cnut. In the
medieval period, the area was completely covered by fen. The fen was drained and
enclosed in the 17th century. Given its fen location, the depositional sequence of this
site was of interest. Archaeological investigation could potentially determine the lines
of the boundaries between the fen and the higher island/peninsula of the Bronze Age,
and there was also potential for surviving Bronze Age settlement or burial/ritual
activity. Roman remains may have been present at the site, and evidence to date
Oakley Dyke could be recovered. [Au(abr)]

THE OLD MANOR HOUSE, WORMLEY
The Old Manor House, Wormley, Hertfordshire. Initial Site Heritage Appraisal
AOC Archaeology Group
Twickenham : AOC Archaeology Group, 2009, 17pp,
The site was located at the edge of the historic village of Wormley. The area was
urbanised and surrounded by housing and commercial buildings but still retained
something of its former village appearance. The house sat adjacent to the road and
consisted of two main wings with large late 17th century windows facing the street.
To the south of the house were two small agricultural buildings, which were all that
remained of the manor’s farm complex. To the west of the house stretched the long
garden/grounds. These grounds had lawn and borders near this house with semimature woodland and scrub at the western end. A small plot of woodland lay slightly
to the south. The site contained the Grade II Listed Old Manor House. This postmedieval timber-framed house dating possibly to the late 16th/early 17th century,
with substantial later remodelling in the later 17th and 18th century, was the oldest
surviving building on the High Road in Wormley. The outbuildings to the south side
of The Old Manor House were the remnants of the manor’s farm buildings. These
comprised a brick outbuilding and a timber framed granary sitting on staddle stones.
Elsewhere in the gardens were small late 19th / early 20th century garden sheds and
greenhouses. The walls on the site were of varying dates with early walling (17th
century?) to the north of the house, a 19th century wall dividing the two main plots
and a late 20th century wall near the gate. All these buildings and structures were also
Grade II Listed due to their association with the Old Manor House. The available
evidence suggested that there was limited potential for archaeology predating the
medieval period, given the paucity of such remains in the wider study area and the
migration of this settlement from the area around St. Lawrence’s Church in the later
medieval period. Prior to this period the site was likely to have fallen within the wider
hinterland of the small hamlets and settlements located in this part of Broxbourne.
There was a potential that remained related to the development of this site and,
postulated, agricultural usage may survive buried within the grounds of proposed
development. Based on the evidence there was considered to be a medium potential
for encountering evidence dating to the later medieval and post-medieval periods
within the site. [Au(adp)]

A total of 71 archaeological sites or findspots of varying date and quality lay within or
very close to the study corridor. The best represented periods were the Iron Age and
Roman periods. Nine areas had been identified as being of high archaeological
significance. Two of these areas included Scheduled Ancient Monuments. The deskbased study defined to some extent where archaeological deposits were likely to
occur, however, it was not able to establish the precise nature or extent of the sites. A
field evaluation was recommended. [Au(abr)]

Research revealed that the site was located south of the main focus for archaeological
and historical activity in St. Albans and no archaeological sites were known within the
site boundaries. Cartographic evidence suggested that the site had been arable fields
until the construction of the school in 1951. As a result, it was considered that the
northern part of the site, in which the complex of school buildings was situated, had a
low potential for the survival of archaeological remains. The southern part of the site,
which was dominated by the school playing field, was considered to offer a high
potential for the survival of archaeological remains. [Au(abr)]

Prehistoric archaeology recorded in the vicinity of the site comprised scatters of
worked and burnt flint dated to the Neolithic and Bronze Age. The site was adjacent
to the projected course of a Roman road and locally finds of Roman pottery and coins
had been made. A Roman cemetery was located slightly further west. Scattered
Roman farmsteads, often with associated cemeteries, have been recorded in the
Stevenage area. The site had a moderate potential to produce further evidence dating
to the prehistoric and Roman periods (subject to truncation). Despite their close
proximity to existing hospital buildings the only area designated for extensions or
redevelopment that had evidently been heavily truncated was that of the proposed
Phase 5 Main Block. The remaining areas were predominantly currently hardstanding car parks with sparse rows of trees. [Au(abr)]

The site was within Moor Park, a Grade II* Registered Garden, located on high
ground overlooking the Colne valley. The archaeological potential of the site was
generally moderate for the prehistoric and Roman periods although, due to its location
away from known centres of activity and the landscaping, planting and construction,
the potential for residual finds may be higher than for surviving features. A large
number of prehistoric finds were made within the study area and the site lay c.400m

dating from the prehistoric periods, a low to medium potential for below ground
archaeological evidence dating to the Late Iron Age - Roman periods, and a low
potential for significant below ground archaeological evidence dating from the early
medieval, medieval & post-medieval peeriods. If present, archaeological evidence of

The assessment determined that the various roundabout improvement schemes
occurred within the possible confines of the site of the deserted medieval settlement
of Hardwick, and within an area where two prehistoric burnt mounds had been found.
Other evidence of prehistoric settlement activity in the vicinity of the proposed
scheme had come from the recovery of a Bronze Age palstave to the immediate north
west. The line of the present westbound A47 trunk road also bisected the north south
line of a medieval bank (The Green Dyke). From the documentary evidence it
appeared that the area within the confines of the present A47 Hardwick roundabout
had been subjected to intensive development since the 1950's. It was likely therefore
that any potential archaeology had been removed by previous development. [Au(adp)]

No known archaeological sites lay within the proposed development area but a high
potential for prehistoric and Roman sites and a medium potential for medieval sites
was identified. This was due to the presence of sites relating to these periods recorded
on the County HER in the Study Area, and cropmarks noted in aerial photographs in
adjacent fields. The levels of preservation were considered to be high as the
development area appeared to have been primarily pasture with only one small area
having been ploughed. The proposed development will have a severe negative impact
upon the potential archaeological resource. The proposed construction of housing
with associated roadways and buried services would cause serious damage and even
destroy any buried remains that may have been present. It was recommended that in

The proposed development area included the site of a Late Bronze Age/Iron Age
settlement enclosure of regional importance. This enclosure, where it lay within the
site, had already been excavated in full although recent work to the south
demonstrated that settlement evidence extended beyond the confines of the enclosure.
A prehistoric trackway which exits the enclosure also potentially crossed the site. This
implied that the site as a whole had the potential for prehistoric deposits. The site also
lay in close proximity to the medieval Church of St. Mary, an associated medieval
green and Chilton Hall. Early medieval settlement evidence had been excavated in an
adjacent field and a medieval trackway crossed part of the site. Documentary
evidence illustrated that the site had been in agricultural use since at least the 16th
century. As the archaeological potential of the site was high, with archaeological
remains being highly vulnerable to development, a program of evaluation was

The assessment demonstrated that there was high potential for multi-period
archaeological deposits to exist upon the site. This was due to its fen-edge location
within a dense band of prehistoric and Roman activity and its position within the area
of archaeological importance for Lakenheath. This designation encompassed the area
of the medieval town and any location within it accordingly had a high potential for
Anglo-Saxon or medieval archaeological remains relating to the settlements early
history. Documentary research and results from archaeological fieldwork on the
adjacent plot suggested that the site would have been in use since at least the 13th
century, with possible origins for occupation in the Anglo-Saxon period. It was
thought that there were generally no grounds to consider refusal of permission in
order to achieve preservation in situ of any important archaeological deposits within
the proposed development area. However as the archaeological potential of the site
was high, with archaeological remains being highly vulnerable to development, a
program of archaeological evaluation was recommended as a first stage of

excavation, would be based upon the evaluation results. [Au(abr)]

Craven, J A Bury St. Edmunds : Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service,
The site was located on high ground overlooking the Rivers Waveney and Dove, a
situation in which moderate potential for evidence of prehistoric activity could be
expected. Its close proximity to a Roman road also offered moderate potential for
contemporary deposits to exist within the site. A documentary survey demonstrated
that the site lay within Broome Common during the medieval period before enclosure
in 1812. The site was then used as arable land until the construction of Kilnside at
some point in the 20th century. The site, therefore, had only minimal potential for
archaeological deposits of post-Roman date. The site’s later history as part of Broome
Common, small post-medieval arable plot and 20th century garden meant it was
unlikely to have seen activities which would have substantially disturbed evidence of
earlier occupation. Across the majority of the site preservation of any deposits was
likely to be good, apart from under the footprint of Kilnside itself. The development
had already taken place. This had seen the demolition of the existing house and
construction of a new property. Groundworks for the development would have had a
severe detrimental impact upon any surviving archaeological deposits. The
undeveloped areas of the plot however still had low to moderate potential for
undisturbed deposits to exist in a good state of preservation. [Au(abr)]

activity and was a site of local and regional importance. It was thought that there was
generally no grounds to consider refusal of permission in order to achieve
preservation in situ of any important archaeological deposits. However, as the
archaeological potential of the site was high, with archaeological remains being
highly vulnerable to development, a program of archaeological evaluation was
recommended as a first stage of archaeological mitigation works in advance of the

WIND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT, AIRFIELD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, EYE
Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment. Wind Energy Development, Airfield
Industrial
Estate, Eye, Suffolk
Rolfe, J
Ipswich : Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service, 2009, 67pp,
The assessment was undertaken as a result of a proposal for the siting of three wind
turbines on land to the north-west of the historic town of Eye, on the site of a disused
World War II airfield. The results suggested that there was a moderate to high
potential for there to be Roman and Anglo-Saxon material within the development
area. The potential was variable with a higher chance of Roman or Anglo-Saxon
archaeology being discovered towards the southern part of the development area, near
to a Roman occupation site and at least one Early Anglo-Saxon cemetery [possibly
two] and an associated settlement. There was a low to moderate potential for
encountering later prehistoric and medieval material. Any archaeological material that
was present within the footprint of the turbine bases and along the line of any cable
route would be destroyed. It was therefore recommended that the first stage of
archaeological works would be an evaluation trench across the site of each turbine
base to access the nature, depth and survival of any archaeological deposits that were
present. Depending upon the results of this evaluation, decisions would be made as to
whether further excavation was required. For the cabling, mitigation would be the
monitoring of any ground works. [Au(abr)]

Archaeological Desk-based Assessment. Land adjacent to Risbygate Street and

Rolfe, J
The results of this assessment suggested that the proposed development area was in an
area of high archaeological potential on the edge of the urban core of Bury St.
Edmunds. Although outside the town wall the development area lay on the approach
road to one of the medieval gates and was one of the major routes in and out of the
town. Documentary and archaeological records showed that Risbygate Street was a
well established suburb by the early medieval period with dense residential and
commercial occupation along the frontage and would be similar to the medieval
streets within the urban core. There were reasonable grounds to suggest that preserved
archaeological remains are present within the site. The proposed development area
had the archaeological potential to lead to a greater understanding of the occupation,
economy and development of this area. Initial archaeological investigation would be
through a trial trench evaluation to identify and assess the character, density and depth
of the archaeological deposits present. The next stage of archaeological works could
include full-scale excavation. [Au(abr)]

The heritage resource within the Sizewell region was diverse, with sites and find spots
within the Study Area dating back at least to the Neolithic period until the modern
day. The known heritage resource within the Study Area was predominantly
characterised by coastal defence systems of modern date. This assessment established
that the proposed construction of a nuclear power station would not affect any
nationally designated element of the heritage resource. However, there remained the
potential for previously unknown archaeological and palaeoenvironmental sites to be
present within the development footprint, which may be impacted by the construction
of the power station. It was recommended that the results of this assessment be used
during the Environmental Impact Assessment to inform an understanding of the
impacts of the construction of a nuclear power station could have on the heritage
resource. [Au(abr)]

The assessment of aerial photographs examined an area of some 24 hectares in order
to identify and accurately map archaeological, recent and natural features. The gravel
soils offered good potential for crop-marked archaeological features but there was an
area of deeper soil that may have masked information in the southern part of the
Development Area. Archaeological features comprised an apparently unstructured
series of ditched features of more than one phase. One ditch linked these with a larger
group of rectangular enclosures to the south-east. Features within the Development
area included possible rectangular fields, small enclosures of unknown function, and
part of a multi-ditched boundary and/or track. [Au(abr)]

Work undertaken by: L-P: Archaeology
There had been little previous archaeological work in the area and research did not
indicate any areas of high archaeological potential. However, the site was on a gentle
south east slope falling from a gravel ridge which may have been attractive to early
settlers, therefore there was possible archaeological potential for periods prior to the
late medieval. Documentary and cartographic research suggested that there was very
little activity on the site in the post -medieval period. The north-west area of the site
had been developed and was the site of the Finchley Memorial Hospital; it was not
considered of particular archaeological or architectural merit. There was no evidence
that the rest of the site had ever been developed, and as such any underlying
archaeological deposits would be well preserved. [Au(abr)]

The site was assessed to have a moderate potential for finds, features and deposits

that may have contained archaeological remains were probably sufficiently deep to
have avoided severe impact by the construction and subsequent removal of
underground tanks associated with the former garage premises. Equally, if this was
the case, they should be, if present, at adequate depth to avoid impact from the

The research showed that although there was evidence for human activity in the
general area of Bexley from the Palaeolithic Period at Swanscombe, the earliest
recorded finds from within a 1km radius of Thamesmead Town Football Club dated
to the Mesolithic period. The potential for Romano-British features surviving subsurface within the development site was moderate. The potential for early medieval
archaeological remains was low. The potential for post-medieval and modern features
was high. The visual site inspection did not reveal any previously unrecorded
archaeological features. The proposed development area at Thamesmead Town
Football Club had already been developed with two pitches, clubhouse, spectator
stand and car parking. A geotechnical investigation undertaken in 2007 indicated that
made-up ground existed to a depth lower than the intended foundations of the new
pavilion so there would be no impact on potential archaeological remains in this area.
No works were proposed on the football pitch; therefore any surviving archaeological
remains associated with a former signal butt would not be affected by the proposed
works. it was not deemed necessary for any further archaeological work to be

The site was situated in an area with numerous prehistoric finds from the Palaeolithic
and Mesolithic periods, recovered from the Lynch Hill and Corbetts Tey terraces of
the Thames gravels. The location of the medieval Coldhall Manor was c.100m to the
west and as a result the site was within an Archaeological Interest Area. The western
half of the site was occupied by the post-medieval residence of Gumleighs (possibly
part of Laurel Court) from at least the late-18th century, and was a adjacent to the
grand residence of Place House (later Ealing Park) from at least the mid-17th century.
The survival of archaeological remains (if present) was difficult to assess. The site
would have been subject to previous ground disturbance during the construction of
Pickering House in the 1950s. Made ground deposits identified by the geotechnical
report were recorded with depths of 0.70-1.40m. [Au(abr)]

The southern part of site lay within one of the Borough’s archaeological priority
zones, and the public house which occupied the site was a Grade II Listed Building.
Although archaeological finds from the area were few, this may merely have reflected
the low level of archaeological fieldwork carried out in the vicinity. It was anticipated
that it would be necessary to provide further information about the potential of the site
from field observations in order to draw up a scheme to mitigate the impact of
development on any below-ground archaeological deposits if necessary. It was also

Assessment

A desk-based assessment was carried out to identify the nature and extent of the
recorded archaeological resource within both the site and its immediate environs. The
site consisted of two disused warehouses with office space standing in a plot which
was bounded by New Road, the A1306, to the north and the Barking to Shoeburyness
railway line to the south, with similar plots to the east and west. No archaeological
work had been carried out in relation to the site but there had been a number of
interventions in the surrounding area. These encountered traces of Bronze Age
activity, Iron Age and Roman farming and medieval occupation. Throughout these
periods it was likely that the site was marshland, utilised for grazing and meadow.
There was some potential for peat deposits of palaeoenvironmental interest of
prehistoric date to be sealed within the alluvium in the southern half of the site, given
the discoveries to the west of the site on other areas of the Hornchurch levels,
although none were mentioned in a recent ground contamination survey. The
medieval period probably saw little change but the post-medieval period saw the
reclamation of the land. Cartographic sources supported this assessment with the site
depicted as marshland prior to post-medieval drainage and modern light-industrial
development. There had been considerable modern disturbance of the site but any
deposits of palaeoenvironmental interest may be deeply buried. The buildings
currently standing were of modern construction and were not of cultural heritage
value. [Au(abr)]

There was a general medieval and post-medieval interest in this area (as indicated by
the Sites and Monuments Record data). There was a general paucity of evidence of
significant prehistoric activity within the 500m study area itself and the assessment
identified only a single example of previously known prehistoric archaeological
evidence relating to the findspot of a Bronze Age socketed axe, found within gravel
deposits during the construction works on Finsbury Park Station in the 1930s,
adjacent to the east of the site. The non-designated late 19th century façade in the
south of the site and the southern half of the mid 20th century former depot building
(including the surviving platform) in the central/east of the site were considered to be
of built heritage interest. The terraced properties fronting on to Goodwin Street in the
west of the site lay outside the area of landscaping, as suggested by the embankments
shown on the 1896 OS Maps. If this area had not experienced the degree of land
build-up/made ground which was thought to extend across the majority of the site,
then these buildings were likely to have constituted a greater past impact upon the
below ground deposits. A comparison with extant contemporary buildings adjacent
this area suggested these terraced properties did not have basements. A low potential
for significant below-ground archaeological evidence dating from the prehistoric to
early post-medieval periods and a medium potential for below ground archaeological
remains dating to the late post-medieval and modern periods was identified. [Au(adp)]

The proposed development site was in use as a hand valeting and car wash business
and comprised a yard area in the north of the site fronting on to Church Road, with a
late 19th century two-storey building in the south of the site and a further late 19th
century two-storey building located in the north-east corner of the site. The proposed
development site was located within an Area of Archaeological Significance and the
Albert and Victoria Road Local Area of Special Character, as designated in the Royal
Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames Unitary Development Plan. The assessment
identified no known or identified below ground cultural heritage features within the
boundary of the proposed development site. The closest known below ground cultural
heritage feature related to the route of the Hampton Court Place water conduit system
located c.5 m to the north of the proposed development site. Based upon the available
evidence, there was considered to be a low potential for significant below ground
archaeological remains dating to the prehistoric, Roman and early medieval periods, a
low-medium potential for significant below ground archaeological evidence dating to
the medieval period, including possible evidence related to the nearby water conduit
system, and a medium to high potential for significant archaeological evidence dating
to the post-medieval period. [Au(abr)]

Fidler, T & Brown, C Twickenham : AOC Archaeology Group, 2009, 63pp, colour
St. Josephs RC Primary School lay within an Archaeological Priority Area and
Conservation Area. The proposed development site did not contain or lay adjacent to
any Scheduled Monuments, Registered Parks and Gardens, Registered Battlefields or
World Heritage Sites. The assessment identified two potential cultural heritage
features within the boundary of the school site, comprising the main school building,
constructed in 1866, and the location of a (now demolished) row of terraced housing
previously located within the north-eastern boundary of the site, fronting onto
Crossfield Street. Based upon the available evidence, there was considered to be a low
potential for significant below ground archaeological remains dating to the
prehistoric, early medieval and medieval periods within the bounds of the proposed
development site, a low-medium potential for significant below ground archaeological
remains dating to the Roman period within the limits of proposed development, and a
medium to high potential for significant archaeological activity dating to the postmedieval period, particularly in the north-eastern area of the site. As the final nature
and extent of ground reductions and ground conditions were not yet finalised, the
precise magnitude of impact of the proposed development works could not be stated.

The available evidence illustrated a degree of prehistoric activity and utilisation
within the wider landscape of Mitcham, possibly from the Palaeolithic period
onwards, though the available evidence did not suggest significant archaeological
activity (e.g. settlement, ritual or industrial sites etc.) within the immediate vicinity of
the proposed development site until the later post-medieval period. Further evidence
may also have included evidence of remains associated to the late 19th century
"Brenley" building in the west of the site and glasshouses and further buildings in the
north-west corner and east of the site. Based upon the available evidence and the
criteria set out in Section 2 and based upon professional judgment, where proposed

The assessment identified two potential cultural heritage features within the boundary
of the school site, comprising the Locally Listed northern most block of the original
1930s school building and the site of the Catherine Gladstone Convalescent Home,
encountered during the laying of the school’s astro-turf sports pitch in the east of the
site. Based upon the available evidence, there was considered to be a low potential for
evidence of significant below ground archaeological activity dating from the
prehistoric to post-medieval periods within the limits of proposed development site. If
any evidence was present, this resource was likely to be ephemeral in nature or of
limited significance and was therefore considered to be of between negligible to local
Importance. As the final nature and extent of ground reductions required for the
proposed development was not yet finalised, the precise magnitude of impact of the
proposed development works could not be stated. However, based upon the assessed
archaeological potential and importance and the current design schemes, it was
considered that any development was likely to comprise a low magnitude of impact.
In line with the adopted methodology and based upon professional judgment, it was
considered that the proposed development would therefore not significantly impact
upon any potentially surviving below-ground archaeological remains. [Au(abr)]

There was thought to be a high potential for archaeological remains to be found in

Franklin, G Portsmouth : English Heritage, 2009, 122pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs
The subject of this report was school building between the 1918 and 1944 Education
Acts, with a focus on inner London. The period 1918-44 saw a movement from a
parallel system of all-age elementary schools for the working classes and secondary
schools for a largely middle-class minority, to the progressive stages of nursery,
primary and secondary. The government suggested a break in schooling at 11 and the
extension of the educational franchise to secondary schooling in the form of a
tripartite model of secondary education comprising grammar, modern and technical
schools. The design of school buildings diverged and specialised accordingly. The
period after the First World War also saw school building catch up with major shifts
in practice and policy affecting health, hygiene and educational theory. School plans
accordingly loosened up or split into a series of single-storey wings or blocks,
increasing lighting and cross-ventilation. Important experiments were made in
temporary, prefabricated and light construction. The glazed area was increased, and
the provision of direct access from classroom to playground sometimes reduced
corridors to open-air verandas or galleries. Such reforms in planning and construction
were usually accommodated within a neo-Georgian style. Bold reforms and
experiments in school planning and construction, and a shift from the monumental to
the functional, were often achieved without recourse to architectural rhetoric, such as
that of the Modern Movement. The schools of the London County Council illustrate
the reaction of a typical local education authority to these changes. The LCC schoolbuilding programme was split between the increased provision of secondary, nursery
and special education; rebuildings of obsolete Board schools and school building in
the new LCC estates. Greatest progress was made in the newer school types such as
the nursery and open-air school, where policy was at its boldest and designers
comparatively unhampered by regulation, standardisation and the weight of
accumulated tradition. The design of open-air schools eventually influenced
mainstream schools, as the introduction of “open-air classrooms” in LCC elementary
schools demonstrated. [Au(abr)]

Brown, C
tabs, refs
An assessment of available historic Ordnance Survey mapping from the late 19th
century to the mid 20th century indicated that the site was occupied by two buildings
throughout this period. The footprint of these buildings appeared to remain constant
through this period, suggesting that these structures may not have suffered a direct hit
during the bombing raids of either the First or Second World Wars. However, the
London County Council Architect’s Bomb Damage map indicated that the building in
the northern area of the site suffered damage beyond repair, while the south of the
site, currently occupied by the former bank building was shown to have suffered
general blast damage, causing minor, non-structural damage. While the London
Borough of Southwark was known to have been subject to bombing during the First
World War air raids between 1915-1918, there was no record of known bomb hit sites
within the site boundary or in close proximity to the site and no bombs were recorded
as falling within 500m of the proposed development site. The closest known bomb
was dropped on Walworth Road, c.600m to the south of the proposed development
site. Southwark was one of the most densely bombed boroughs in London during the
Second World War bombing raids between 1940-1944. While this report identified no
known bomb drop sites within the site boundary, three known bomb hit sites were
recorded within a 100m radius of the proposed development site. The London County
Council Architect’s Bomb Damage map indicated that no V-weapons directly
impacted the site itself, nor did any V-weapon blast radius extend within the site
boundary. The closest V1 hits fell on Bath Terrace and at the junction of Newington
Causeway and Borough Road, both some 220m from the proposed development site.
The closest recorded V2 hit is shown some 600m to the north-east of the site on
Marshalsea Road. Many bombs, shells, and munitions dropped across London failed
to explode, including those fired by British defence. There was no identified known
Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) within the proposed development site. The closest
known UXO sites were recorded on Rockingham Street, c.70m to the south of the site
and were both removed in 1940. [Au(abr)]

Gailey, S
The site was found to have a good potential for the Mesolithic, a moderate to good
potential for the Neolithic period, and a low to moderate potential for the Bronze Age
and Iron Age periods. There was thought to be a good potential for medieval or postmedieval agricultural activity, but a low potential for settlement remains. Past postdepositional impacts will have had a cumulative effect on underlying archaeological
deposits. It was likely that an archaeological trial trenching exercise would be
required. [Au(abr)]

The site contained no known archaeological features, although it had the potential for
previously unknown archaeological remains to be present. There was thought to be a
limited potential for prehistoric remains, and an uncertain but low potential for
Roman and medieval remains. Post-medieval remains, if present, would have been
affected by different degrees of truncation by the various phases of construction and
demolition that had occurred over time. An old metalwork building on the site was a
late Victorian industrial building, and although not Listed, was of local architectural

An Appraisal of the Archaeological and Historic Landscape Context of Bolam as

Hammond, N Barnard Castle : Archaeo-Environment Ltd, 2009, 35pp, pls, colour
Work undertaken by: Archaeo-Environment Ltd
Bolam and its immediate environs included a Scheduled Monument, two listed
buildings and a number of well preserved earthwork and landscape features
exemplifying the medieval and later agricultural landscape. The village had additional
significance as it had been the subject of a number of published medieval village and
settlement studies both on account of its well preserved form and excellent available
documentary record stretching back to the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th
century. In summary the case for conservation area status for Bolam appeared well
founded. The village was in form little different to that observed on the 1st edition
Ordnance Survey mapping of 1860, which in itself is an excellent example of a ‘green
village’ a settlement type with its origins in the 12th century and the Norman
reorganisation of the agricultural landscape. The form and buildings of the village, its
context and setting were all also given considerable extra meaning and value by the
excellent survival of field systems, enclosures and earlier multi-period agricultural
land use regimes in the surrounding fields. A lack of intensive arable farming,
opencast mining or modern quarrying around the village was absent from the environs
of Bolam. [Au(abr)]

A desk-based assessment of the Queen’s Head Hotel Public House was undertaken.
Birtley had grown and developed largely due to the industries which started there
around the early 19th century. The Iron industry was the predominant source of jobs
and commerce in the area from the early 1800’s. The original settlement of Birtley
was irregular in that the main hub of the houses and businesses were set back away
from the main road (Durham Road). By using map regression it was possible to see
the growth of Birtley and particularly the area which surrounded the Queen’s Head
from as early as 1846. Although it was not listed as a public house on the early plans,
it appeared that the western elevation existed from as early as 1846 possibly as a large
dwelling later to be converted into a public house to meet the demands of the growing
population at the time. The Queen’s Head was in a state of disrepair. An extensive
refit was necessary to make the spaces within usable. There was a potential that while
doing this work, original features, could be uncovered, particularly in the first floor
rooms, and the main bar area on the ground floor. It was therefore recommended that
modifications to the building be monitored in order to record anything exposed.
Externally there was a potential that any ground works within the car park area to the
north may uncover remains of the early 18th century building which originally
appeared on the Tithe plan of 1846. It was recommended that an evaluation trench be
placed in this area prior to any ground works taking place. [Au(abr)]

Birtley had grown and developed largely due to the industries which started there

and commerce in the area from the early 1800s. The original settlement of Birtley was
irregular in that the main hub of the houses and businesses were set back away from
the main road (Durham Road) present at the time. By using the map regression, in
particular the old OS maps it was possible to see the growth of Birtley and
particularly the area which surrounded the Rose and Shamrock from as early as 1846.
Although it was not listed as a public house on the early plans, it would appear that
the northern elevation existed from as early as 1846 possibly as a large dwelling later
to be converted into a public house to meet the demands of the growing population at
the time. The Rose and Shamrock was due to be completely demolished. No original
features remained on the interior of the building and all windows had modern PVC
replacements. Externally there was a potential that any ground works within the car
park area to the west may uncover remains of the late 19th century building which
originally appeared on the 1st revision OS map of 1893. It was recommended that an
evaluation trench be placed in this area prior to any ground works taking place.

Chowdean Lodge was a locally Listed Building and a good example of middle 19th
century architecture. Its outward appearance was grand with large ashlar walls and
ornate entrance porch, but the interior had seen a lot of degradation caused by a
severely damaged roof. Damp had permeated every room of the building having a
damaging effect on all plaster work and any wooden features. Although there have
been many unsympathetic modern renovations, there were however a number of
original features still extant and worth retaining. The skirting boards, dado rails and
coving, present in many of the rooms, were original to the property and, although not
spectacular in design, did give aesthetic appeal and character to the building. It was
recommended that these features should be retained in any future work, unless they
were in such a poor condition that they could not. As the building had been derelict
for so long, and had seen damage and degradation from vandalism and exposure to
the elements, it was proposed that any renovation/refurbishment performed in a
sympathetic style would be a benefit to the buildings character and its standing within
the surrounding area. [Au(abr)]

The development site lay immediately to the north and east-west running Metro line

waggonways ran across the site, transporting coal from pits on higher land to the
south to drips on the riverside. A batter or embankment was constructed within the
east of the site to carry waggonways across the Blackburn or Felling Burn, a stream
running north-south across Felling to the River Tyne. The John Pit, one of the main
working shafts of the Branding Main Colliery and the site of a disastrous explosion in
1812, was within the area. It closed in the 1930s and all pit-head structure, other than
an air shaft, have been demolished. It was possible that remnants of these structures
survived within the deep waste deposits over the site. Felling Hall was demolished in

should be considered prior to development. There was a low possibility that elements
of the world heritage site of Hadrian’s Wall survived on the site, although given the
creation of the basements and the well, these may have damaged or destroyed any
surviving features. It was therefore recommended that should any groundworks be
proposed for the development, a watching brief or evaluation trench could be
considered necessary. [Au(abr)]

ADEY CARE HOME, NEWBOTTLE
An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Adey Care Home, Newbottle,
Sunderland
Amat, D
figs, tabs, refs
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken of Adey Gardens Care
Home, Newbottle. Newbottle has grown and developed largely due to the industries
which developed there around the 18th century. The pottery industry was the
predominant source of jobs and commerce in the area from the late 1700s to their
subsequent closure in1878. Along with the potteries, the emergence of the three stone
quarries of Newbottle would suggest the reason for the housing increase which took
place between 1839 and 1896. The Low Pottery buildings were situated
approximately 31m north of the proposed development area. The buildings no longer
exist in Newbottle, demolition and landscaping had taken place . The map regression
indicated that the 19th century housing and structures which occupied the southern
length of South Street had been demolished in the study area around 1939. The northeast section of the proposed development area had a high potential of hosting the
remains of the early 19th century housing which previously occupied the site, but
were demolished around the 1930’s. There was a low potential that the undisturbed
ground, located in the south-east of the development area may provide some evidence
of the pottery industry. It was also possible that being the only undeveloped part of
the study area, and its close proximity to the main road (South Street), which existed
certainly as early as 1820 it may yield remains mot previously known relating to the
development of Newbottle or earlier archaeological features. Cartographic and
documentary sources used for this desk based assessment suggested that late 20th
century development would have destroyed any archaeology to the west and
immediate south of the care home. To the east, however, there was high potential for
the remains of early 19th century housing to survive and it was therefore
recommended that an evaluation trench should be placed across this area running eastwest prior to any ground work taking place. South of this area there was an area of
undeveloped land. This land may yield archaeology relating to the development of
Newbottle or earlier and it is was recommended that a second evaluation trench
should be placed in this area running north-south prior to any ground work taking
place. [Au(abr)]

Bamburgh : Bamburgh Research Project, 2009, 27pp, refs
Work undertaken by: Bamburgh Research Project
It appeared that Link House was a mansion of some significance since at least the
17th century. It was rented out to tenants and was the centre of perhaps semiindustrial brewing activity, indicating that it was never a great house or formed the
core of a significant country estate. Nevertheless the presence of a formalised garden
and the quite extensive range of buildings depicted on the tithe map and the 1st
Edition OS clearly suggested something much more substantial than a large farm
house and the term mansion was unlikely to have been used inappropriately. The
study indicated that elements associated with the mansion of 1751 could survive at the
core of Building 1 and that there was no reason to predict substantial disturbance of
the archaeological strata beyond the foundations of the present buildings and those
depicted on earlier maps. It was quite possible that the core of the mansion probably
depicted on the tithe map and 1st edition OS, lay to the immediate east of the present
development area beneath a garage and shops. The major monuments in the study
area were associated with the World War I and World War II coastal defences and
post-dated in construction all the major components of the present site. The
documentary and cartographic evidence indicated that their construction respected the
site boundary and that no archaeological evidence for them would extend into the site
area. There was no indication that features of medieval or earlier date were present
within the site area, but the presence of such archaeology could not be ruled out. The
earliest elements of the present structures were in a poor state of preservation and
sympathetic re-development that respected the present building’s heights and
proportions and retained the earliest elements should not significantly impact on the
present built environment. [Au(abr)]

Roberts, A & Taylor-Wilson, R
Durham : Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd.,
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken ahead of a proposed
scheme to improve the A19/A189 Moor Farm Junction, Cramlington. The assessment
concluded that the potential for archaeological remains of the earlier prehistoric
periods at the study site was low. However, the potential for later prehistoric remains
was considered moderate to high. The potential for Anglo-Saxon, medieval and postmedieval (non-industrial) remains was considered low. The potential for later postmedieval/early modern industrial era remains was high. The potential for modern era
archaeological remains of significance at the study site was considered low. [Au(abr)]

Work undertaken by: Northern Archaeological Associates
An assessment in advance of proposals to redevelop the site for residential, care home
and hotel use found that there was little of archaeological significance on the site. The
hospital buildings were not of sufficient architectural or historical interest to warrant
recommendation for retention, however, there was thought to have been some
historical interest in the design of the overall site, as an example of the "colony
system" and possible reflections in changing attitudes towards mental health in the
20th century. The original hospital buildings dated from between 1938 and 1960, and
had been recorded to a degree. It was felt that further recording should be carried out
in order to ensure that the character of the site could be preserved. [Au(adp)]

The site lay just south of the medieval centre of Blackburn and was probably occupied
during the medieval period. The site was first developed around 1795 and a Gas
Works was established in 1818. The first electrical generating power hall was
established by 1895 to provide electric street lighting to Blackburn. Further buildings
associated with the electrical works and the tram system were constructed in 1899 and
1902. Blackburn had the first electric tram in east Lancashire. Redevelopment during
the 1930s removed some of the earlier buildings and two office blocks were
constructed. The Gas Works buildings were not demolished until the late 1950s and
there was the potential for subsurface remains of these building to have survived.

The elevations of the wall in the area of the collapse were recorded and analysed for
the purpose of the assessment. The original Roman fortress wall in this area had
collapsed in antiquity and its remains became buried in a mound, possibly of Saxon

Work undertaken by: Lincoln Archaeology
A desk-based assessment found that St. Peters church was the head of one of the
largest medieval parishes in Cheshire. The churchyard probably contained a Norman
chapel. The chapel was superseded by St. Peter's from c.1220 AD and was ruinous by
1580. It was restored and rebuilt in the 18th century and used as crypt until the early
1800s when it went into use as a school room. It was later back in ecclesiastical use.
Little of the original building survived above the ground, the only 12th century
section being the west door. Much of the graveyard was occupied by gravestones
dating from the 17th century onwards, though burials have probably taken place at St.
Peters since the 8th or 9th century AD. [Au(abr)]

Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and Walkover Survey at Castle Carrock
and Geltsdale, Cumbria
Liddell, T & Strickland, J
Alston : North Pennines Archaeology Ltd., 2009, 38pp,
The assessment demonstrated that Castle Carrock and the surrounding vicinity was an
area prevalent with prehistoric activity. Most of the evidence of prehistoric occupation
was in the form of tumuli, hillforts and terraces. In 1883 Hall identified a number of
terraces, pit dwellings and ovens believed to date to the prehistoric period. Again in
1934, Barker mapped over 200 tumuli on nearby Carrock Fell. Without further
investigation the exact dates for many of these sites will not be known beyond the
general categorisation of prehistoric. During the post-medieval period the valley of
Geltsdale was an area of industrial activity that included coal mining, limestone
quarrying, lime production, mill stone quarrying, whinstone quarrying and zinc
smelting. The evidence of many of these industrial activities was still apparent in and
around the landscape. The walkover survey revealed nine potential features that were
compared to the map regression analysis and aerial photographs. While evidence for
seven of these features was not found during the map regression analysis, or on
corresponding aerial photos, two of the features were identified. One feature (Site 07)
was a standing building present on both First and Second Edition Ordnance Survey
maps. One of the features (Site 03) could possibly relate to either a standing building,
or to landscaping from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries, however, there was no
direct correlation between Site 03 and the historical maps. [Au(abr)]

There were five historic or statutorily protected buildings in the vicinity of the site
with Grade I and II status. These structures were of 14th to 19th century date and
included a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Penrith Castle. Archaeological deposits
relating to this settlement may have survived. The area may also have been exploited
for agricultural use during these periods. The site was arable meadow land during the
18th and early 19th centuries. Elements of the late 19th century buildings of a carriage
works and of a 19th century saw mill were incorporated into the current buildings on
the site. Some of the site boundaries also incorporated elements of stone walling

‘shell repair’ project brought together national and regional partners and funders with
a local Trust, Ancoats Buildings Preservation Trust (ABPT)1, to facilitate a
significant project that provided gains to both the built heritage of Manchester and the
overall regeneration of the Ancoats area. The Evaluation of the Murrays’ Mills project
was carried out between May and September 2009. The purpose, to draw together and
review all of the reporting, monitoring, evaluation and other information relating to
the project and include review of any participation within area based regeneration or
strategic frameworks. The Murrays’ Mill project repaired, restored and ultimately
saved, an important and iconic industrial listed building that was ‘at risk’. This was a
successful project, and delivered a significant quality exemplar of a historic building

filled with housing and infrastructure. The assessment identified 5 archaeological
Gazetteer sites within the study area, the majority dating from the industrial period.
None of these sites comprised SAM or Listed Buildings. A site walkover survey

A study found that the site was originally occupied by a late 19th century wool
scouring mill, sawmill and their associated buildings, a terrace of residential
properties fronting Entwistle Street, together with a short southward continuation of
George Street. All of these structures were subsequently demolished prior to late 20th
century redevelopment. A walkover survey of the site confirmed that no remains of
these structures were visible above ground, although substantial foundations may
have survived. [Au(abr)]

The sites identified within the study area comprised the shaft of an early to mid 19th
century colliery, a small building standing in 1844-6 and a group of ponds, which
were believed to be former marl pits and which were also in existence by 1844-6. The

further archaeological investigation. Therefore, no further archaeological work was

The research identified the potential for archaeological remains in the vicinity of the
coal wharf. Consultation of the historic maps revealed changes to the layout and
buildings of the wharf from the early 19th to 20th centuries. A building was shown in
the position of the coal wharf on the Marple Tithe map of 1850. Fieldname evidence
also suggested possible kiln and pottery production sites. The settlement of Turf Lea
may have medieval origins and ridge and furrow earthworks within the study area
could have dated to this period. Another series of earthworks within the study area, as
yet undated, could have indicated activity at a much earlier date. [Au(abr)]

Penny Lane Fields, Stockport. An Archaeological Desk-based Assessment
Arrowsmith, P Manchester : University of Manchester Archaeological Unit, 2009,
Penny Lane and the road from the old Portwood Bridge led onto Old Road, part of the
early highway from Manchester to Stockport., which was believed to have followed
the line of a Roman road. At Stockport the highway crossed the River Mersey by a
bridge first built by the 13th century and later known as Lancashire bridge. Across the
river Tame, Portwood was transformed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries into
an industrial suburb of Stockport, characterized by a concentration of mills and works
ghousing. Its growth was also helped by wo late 18th century developmentys. One
was the cvonstruction in 1786 by James Harrison, then lord Brinnington, of a new
bridge over the river Goyt. This provided Portwood with a direct link to Stockport and
heralded the end of the old bridge over the Tame. The second development was the
construction by Harrison in the 1790s of the Portwood Cut, a great leat which carried
water from far upsteam on the Tame to power Portwood's new factories before
discharging back into the river just downstream of the old corn mill site. There was
scatter ed development along Penny Lane itself. In the post-war period, it bacme a
landfill site but it was landscaped in the 1970s. [Au(abr)]

Stamford Park, Tameside. An Archaeological Desk-based Assessment
Arrowsmith, P Manchester : University of Manchester Archaeological Unit, 2009,
The earliest known settlement within the study area was the 1830s. It was built within
an area known as the Brick Kiln Fields, a name which surveyed in the 1770s showed
a settlement site within the general location of the study area, but no other evidence
was found for this. The grounds of Highfield House contained a number of built
featues including an entrance lodge, kitchen garden, a summer house and an icehouse.
On the western side of the study area, the Dingle contained the sites of two of the four
cotton mills erected along the Cock Brook. The oldest of these was Throstle Net Mill
bult by 1777 and the earliest known water-powered mill in Ashton. The study area
was crossed from north to south by a sequence of boundary stones along the line of
the former boundary between the municipal boroughs of Ashton and Stlybridge. Once
eastablished, Stampford Park became a repository for a number of local antiquities,
which included the old Ashton Cross and stocks, each now a Grade II Listed Building.
The Dingle contained the base of the 16th century Tompson Crossd abnd, stone head
which were believed to have originally formed part of the medieval Ashton parish
church. [Au(abr)]

refs, CD
There were numerous pieces of historical and documentary evidence concerning the
site of Slackwood Farm, but detailed information was sparse. However, the study
revealed that some or all the current farmstead was constructed early 18th century,
when an earlier house was replaced. The earliest recorded occupiers, recorded from at
least 1632, were the Walling family who were clearly of some importance in the local
area, were certainly the original owners, and were responsible for the early 18th
century rebuilding. They probably held and occupied the site until the end of the 18th
century, but by the mid 19th century it had been acquired by the Leighton Hall estate,
who continued to own it until 2009. There were few details about the physical
development of the buildings; the available maps only showed that the house and barn
were present by at least the early 19th century, although there were some
discrepancies in the details they depicted, and there were additional outbuildings that
had subsequently been removed. The most significant proposed period of alterations
was actually in 1977, when plans were drawn up to divide the house into two
dwellings, but these apparently never came to fruition. The buildings at Slackwood
Farm represented a historically and architecturally interesting group, especially the
farmhouse, although the sparse nature of the available sources and lack of specific
detail about the buildings made interpretation difficult. [Au(abr)]

LANCASHIRE AREA SCHEDULED MONUMENTS
Lancashire Scheduled Monuments. Archaeological Survey
Clarke, S
Ulverston : Greenlane Archaeology Ltd, 2009, 41pp, pls, colour pls,
A desk-based assessment and rapid survey was carried out of five Scheduled
Monuments across Lancashire, these being Witton Old Hall, Whalley Bridge,
Newsholme Old Hall, Castle Hill, Dolphinholme, and Darwen Tramway Reversing
Triangle. There was a need for further information to be recorded regarding these
sites. The site of Witton Old Hall was situated in Witton Hall country Park,
Blackburn. The earliest records of the manor were from the time of Edward I, after
which it passed through various families until it was acquired by the convent at
Whalley. After the Dissolution the estate was sold to Richard Crombiholme who
promptly sold it to the Astleys. The Astleys held the estate until the reign of George
III. Witton Hall was acquired by Joseph Feilden of Blackburn, who in 1800 built
Witton House, and it was probable that the Old Hall was in a state of decay by this
time. The site itself had the remains of two buildings, that of the hall, which was no
longer visible and was occupied by allotments, and the ruins of a farm building and
courtyard which probably dated back to the 18th or early 19th century. The survey
recorded the extant ruins of the farm building and courtyard, and surrounding ditches
and walls. Whalley Bridge straddles the river Calder on the south side of Whalley.
There has been a bridge on the site since at least the 14th century. The date of the first
stone bridge is unknown, though it was rebuilt and widened in the 17th century. In the
early 20th century the bridge was considerably altered and further widened to cope
with modern traffic. Three phases of building were recorded during the survey, which
gave some understanding of the alterations made over the last four centuries. The site
of Newsholme Old Hall is situated on the south side of the river Ribble, adjacent to
Demesne farm on the west side of Newsholme. There was a paucity of documentary
evidence regarding Newsholme, although it is mentioned in the Domesday Book as
belonging to Roger de Poitou, and by 1573 the manor was known to have been held
by Gabriel Green. The site consisted of a low platform surrounded by shallow ditches,
with the foundations of the hall sited at the east end. The linear feature on the west
side, running from the toll house to the site, was probably an access road connecting
to the present A682. As with Newsholme, very little documentary evidence was found
regarding Castle Hill to suggest how or when it was constructed. The physical
remains of the site and its position suggested that it was some sort of defensive
feature, possibly a motte and bailey. Although the survey revealed that the 19th
century quarry had destroyed much of the monument, it is clear that these earthworks
were well positioned within the landscape to defend the river crossing. The Tramway
Reversing Triangle was the terminus of the Blackburn to Over Darwen Tramway
which opened in 1881 and was the first to be authorized to run solely on steam power.
It was initially run by Busby Carson and Co under the name of the Blackburn and
Over Darwen Tramways Co Ltd. In 1900 the trams went electric, but by 1920 the
trams were being superseded by buses, only surviving into the 1940s due to the war.
The last tram to Darwen ran in 1946. The reversing triangle was in a state of
preservation and accessible to the public. [Au(abr)]

A desk-based assessment was prepared for the proposed New Academy Building site,

Building and a lecture theatre were likely to be built over the Russell Building and
Arts E, which were both set deep into the ground surface (likewise Arts D, which
would also be demolished in this option). The site was once a part of Stanmer Park
(created in the 1720s) and subsequently farmed in the 20th century prior to the
construction of the university in the early 1960s. The site was assessed as having low
potential for containing archaeological remains for every period, due in part to limited
evidence predating the medieval period. The evidence was reviewed and
recommendations for further mitigation were offered. [Au(abr)]

The site lay in an area of considerable archaeological potential, with a wide range of
Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman sites recorded in and around the study area.
However, the site appeared to have been severely truncated since the 1960s, when the
university campus started to develop. The northern end of the site was subjected to an
archaeological excavation prior to building work in the 1990s, which revealed
evidence of a Middle to Late Bronze Age settlement. This part of the site would have
no remaining potential. It was possible that sub-surface archaeological deposits may
have survived in the remainder of the site, such as in the spaces between the present
buildings, or particularly along the western boundary, which was currently occupied
by roads and car parking. [Au(abr)]

Land at Falmer High School was proposed for the redevelopment of educational

study site and the site did not lay within an Archaeologically Sensitive Area, defined
by the Local Plan. The study established that the site had a low potential for evidence
of early prehistoric activity, and a moderate potential for late prehistoric activity and
Iron Age and Roman settlement. A nil-low potential was identified for all other
periods. However, site levelling for the school development in the 1960’s had
severely reduced, if not removed, the site's archaeological potential. In this instance it
was anticipated that a watching brief on groundworks would be necessary so that, in
the unlikely event that archaeological remains were revealed they could be excavated

Adverse impacts were identified upon fourteen sites, though the full extent of all but
two of these impacts was uncertain. Neutral impacts were identified upon four further
sites, two under statutory protection, one regionally important and one of local
importance. A single site, the original High Wycombe Railway Station building itself
was identified as subject to an overall beneficial impact from the proposed
development. The highest archaeological potential was considered to be for postmedieval industrial remains related to the original broad gauge railway station built in
1854, though there was also the potential for medieval settlement remains and a
possible Roman Road to lie beneath the modern tarmac. More remotely, the discovery
of a Neolithic flint mine on the side of Amersham Hill raised the potential for others
to lie undiscovered in proximity to the station. Certain architectural elements of the
existing site were associated with Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s GWR Company.
Consideration should be given to undertaking building recording of those aspects of
the original station both still standing and preserved beneath the car park.
Consideration should also be given to undertaking a targeted archaeological watching
brief during redevelopment of the western component of the development area. The
primary focus of archaeological recording should be those aspects of Brunel’s original
1854 station architecture and any directly-related structures of Early Modern
industrial heritage. The eastern component of the proposed redevelopment was
considered permitted development and on this basis it should be exempt from further
archaeological investigation. [Au(abr)]

Archaeological Desk-based Assessment Land at Osborne House, The Ridge,
Hastings, East Sussex
Darton, L
Land at Osborne House was considered for its archaeological potential. On the higher
ground, the northern third of the study site could be shown to have a moderate
potential for the prehistoric and Roman periods, and a low potential for the early
medieval, medieval and post-medieval periods. The potential across the southern twothirds of the study site was thought to be low because of its steeply sloping
topography and distance from known archaeological features. Impacts due to
terracing, land forming and construction within the northern third of the site, was
likely to have been severe and widespread. Overall it appeared that the proposed
development was unlikely to have a significant impact in the northern third of the site
due to the extent of past post-depositional impacts. In the southern two thirds of the
site the development was unlikely to have a significant impact due to the sites steeply
sloping topography. On the basis of the evidence it was suggested that if further
mitigation was required by the local planning authority, an archaeological monitoring
exercise on groundworks would be appropriate. [Au(abr)]

BRIGHTLING DOWN: PROPOSED CABLE ROUTE
Brightling Down Proposed Cable Route, Brightling County of East Sussex
Pethan, H
The development proposal included the construction of eight new substations. The
proposed route would not have an impact upon any Scheduled Monuments or Listed
Buildings. The cable route was adjacent to (outside of) a Registered Park. The site lay
within an Area of Outstanding National Beauty and Ancient Woodland was located to
the north, south, east and west of the proposed route. The route passed through two
Archaeologically Sensitive Areas as defined by the local authority. These comprised
the later medieval and post-medieval village of Brightling and the area around the
Observatory. As there had been limited archaeological investigations in the area, the
archaeological potential for the early prehistoric to early medieval periods was
uncertain, although certain parts had a moderate-high potential to contain Mesolithic,
Neolithic and Bronze Age remains. The western and eastern sections of the proposed
cable route had a moderate potential for the discovery of early and later medieval
remains, close to the medieval village of Brightling, and the later medieval occupation
site at Great Worge. The proposed route had a moderate potential for post-medieval
agricultural remains. The removal of topsoil within the working width, any
construction compounds and prior to construction of substations and the subsequent
movement of vehicles would truncate or remove any archaeological remains present.
The excavation of the cable trench and pad foundations for distribution sites and
micro transformers would remove all archaeological remains within their footprints to
the maximum depth of the trench and foundations. It was recommended that
preliminary test pits be dug in areas of highest potential for archaeological remains
and that across all of the cable route, except for part of Section E, preliminary topsoil
removal, the excavation of the proposed cable route (if necessary), and preparation for
any proposed substations should be subject to Enhanced Observation and Recording
due to the limited number of past archaeological investigations and the uncertain
potential for prehistoric remains. [Au(abr)]

There was a moderate to high potential for prehistoric remains, and a low potential for
Roman, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval remains. There was good cartographic
evidence for the study site from the early 19th century onwards. This showed the
general area to remain relatively undeveloped until the early 20th century. By 1936
the current property boundaries were established, and residential properties began to
appear in the vicinity, including ‘Stone Walls’ to the north and ‘Cliff Ridge’ to the
south, but the subject site itself remained open or wooded land. This had changed by
1961 with the construction of ‘Buena Vista’, presumably the former name of
‘Napenthe’ and had remained as such until the present day. Previous activity in the
area of proposed development is likely to have had an impact upon any underlying
deposits. In particular, the landscaping, terraces, and foundations associated with the
current ‘Napenthe’ building. Given the moderate to high potential for prehistoric
remains and the general lack of previous archaeological intervention in the area, it
was recommended that an archaeological ‘watching brief’ take place during the
ground reduction for the retaining wall extension, composting toilet and water
containment tank only. [Au(abr)]

They occupied higher ground and consisted of substantial earthworks. Another
earthwork had been described as a moat, but was thought to be a sheep enclosure of
medieval or later date. All the other recorded archaeological sites were areas of
medieval salt-panning. No other archaeological sites were recorded and none of the

including the medieval motte in Castle Fields to the south of the site, however, these
were likely to be buried below c.1.5m of made ground. The development was likely to
disturb possible buried features relating to the 19th century railway goods yard, and
foundation trenches may disturb any earlier buried archaeology below the site, which
given underlying alluvium, may include preserved organic material. It was therefore

Heard, H & Weaver, S
The assessment established that the study site had low potential for archaeological
activity for all periods. Although it was likely that the local landscape was utilised
during the prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods, no evidence of
such activity was present within or in the immediate area of the study site. Any
previously unknown activity situated within the study site was likely to be limited to
isolated artefacts suggestive of the landscape utilised during these periods. The study
site was situated away from known historic settlement activity and had remained an
area of woodland throughout the post-medieval period and possibly earlier. Recent
woodland clearance and the construction of a mast in the northern tip of the site was
likely to have caused areas of ground disturbance that may have removed or truncated
archaeological activity present. On this basis, it was considered that no further
archaeological investigation or mitigation would be required prior to development.

probably in the form of rubbish pits and ditches associated with property boundaries,
may be present on the site. As the site was directly opposite the gatehouse to the
Archbishops Palace, it was also possible that other activities may have been taking
place here, for which evidence may be found. The site was shown on maps as being
open gardens from the 17th to mid 20th centuries, and although there had been
changes in ownership and boundaries, which may have left evidence in the form of

THE PETERSFIELD SCHOOL
The Petersfield School. Rapid Archaeological Site Appraisal
The proposed regeneration site was located within Petersfield School. The main body
of works comprised the laying of an artificial grass pitch and floodlights on a
currently open playing field, to the east of the main school block/main reception. This
area would also be used for the laying of 2 tennis courts and an extension to an
existing building for use as a changing room. A further changing room was planned
(Phase 2), extending from the existing main school block. Other works within the
school’s grounds were limited to re-alignment of existing tennis / netball courts, the
resiting of a cricket cage and long jump pit and the re-painting of lines for a running
track and two sports pitches, to the north of the school building. Works in and around
this area have revealed a foundation trench, a small number of pits and the occasional
residual piece of post-medieval pottery. This assessment identified one structure in
close proximity to the site, the Grade II Listed Grange-an 18th century stable
constructed as one part of a pair of stables for Petersfield House. While there was
evidence of prehistoric activity in the wider landscape, this assessment identified no
previously recorded archaeological evidence dating to this period within the limits of
proposed development. Indeed the historic background of Petersfield suggested it was
a deliberately created "planned town", most likely set out in an area of cleared
woodland sometime around the 12th century. It was concluded there were no features
of archaeological or built heritage significance that would constrain future design
and/or development works. [Au(adp)]

Railway dock entrance and a Roman foundation which was found in 1828. The area

constructed a bridge across the Medway and settlements have developed over time
adjacent to the bridge. It is possible that archaeological finds (such as the Roman
Foundations) could be encountered in ground investigation works across the site. It

Work undertaken by: Canterbury Archaeological Trust
An archaeological assessment of a plot of land at the rear of 13a Monastery Street,
was undertaken prior to submission of a planning application for its development. The
site lay within Canterbury’s statutory Area of Archaeological Interest. The
archaeological data and a survey of the documentary sources showed that originally
this was part of the extra-mural settlement for the Roman city and within an area of
cemeteries close to the road to Richborough. In the Anglo-Saxon period the site lay
between the important religious foci of the early cathedral and Augustine’s Abbey and
may have been an area of early settlement. Early medieval buildings fronted the
predecessors of the present streets, the site lying in the back garden zone throughout
the medieval and post-medieval periods. Industrial and commercial properties
encroached upon this backstreet zone but the present site remained as a yard with
small buildings, perhaps originally stables, from the mid 19th century until a series of
business premises were located here in the following century. The reconstructed land
use suggested there had been little recent disturbance of a site with an important
sequence of activity of the Roman and Anglo-Saxon period, perhaps truncated only
by post-medieval pit digging. The site was thus of high archaeological potential as
well as lying within a zone protected for its archaeological potential. [Au(abr)]

No. 5 The Forrens lay in a highly sensitive area of archaeological and historical
importance. Roman remains may lie within the proposed development area but the
potential for recovery was considered low unless there was a requirement for deep

Queningate Lane and occupation in the precincts, including the monastic water
supply, certainly lay within the vicinity. Any such remains would be of major
archaeological and historical importance. The potential for recovery within the

survive meant that even minor ground reduction could have significant impact. Any
associated work, on services or associated with the movement of machinery and
materials, also had the potential to impact upon the remains. Post-medieval remains,
associated with continued occupation after the creation of the New Foundation, lay
within the vicinity. Few such buildings had ever been investigated and as such they
had the potential to increase the understanding of the manner in which monastic
buildings were re-used and adapted. The potential for recovery within the

with the St. Martins’ Hill area; primarily from the Romano-British, medieval and
post-medieval periods. A Roman cremation cemetery discovered in 1926 was situated
a mere 110m to the north east of the development area. This evidence was reviewed
and it was recommended that further archaeological assessment would be required
and that an evaluation should be carried out. [Au(abr)]

Barber, K
London : Wessex Archaeology, 2009, 33pp, colour pls, figs, refs
The assessment was carried out in order to ascertain the suitability of the site for the
expansion of the existing recycling facility onto currently vacant land to the west. The
recorded cultural heritage resource within a 1km radius of the site was considered in
order to provide a context for the discussion and interpretation of the known and
potential resource within the site. Information regarding Listed and Locally Listed
Buildings within the study area was considered, and the potential visual impact on
these buildings as a result of development of the site. Historically the site had been
situated on the periphery of settlement activity in waterlogged ground unsuitable for
occupation or cultivation. The peripheral and marginal nature of the site indicated a
low archaeological potential. Recorded prehistoric activity within the study area was
largely concentrated to the north of the site in proximity to the sea. However, the
location of the site in proximity to the ancient line of the West Brook did hold some
potential for the recovery of palaeoenvironmental deposits and features and finds
associated with river use during this period. This potential applied to human
exploitation of the river through subsequent historical periods. Throughout the
medieval and post-medieval periods, the site remained unoccupied. Given its
waterlogged nature, it may have been subject to land improvement and management
measures. There was some potential for the survival of such historic activity within
the site boundary in the form of drainage ditches. There were no Listed Buildings or
locally listed buildings within, or visible from the site footprint. The site was known
to have been in use as a Council landfill site in recent years and consequently was
likely to have been subject to high levels of ground reduction, build up and
remodelling. Other than its use for landfill, the site had been subject to a low level of
historic building/development, leading to a higher potential for the survival of
archaeological deposits. Archaeological interpretation of the results of any
geotechnical investigations to be undertaken at the site may have proved beneficial in
determining the level and nature of ground build up and therefore the potential
survival depths of archaeological deposits. This information could be measured
against predicted depths of ground intrusion associated with site development when
available. Following consultation with the Heritage Conservation Group at Kent
County Council, It has been agreed that any archaeological work to be undertaken at
the site could be secured by the attachment of a suitably worded planning condition.

Hicks, A & Seary, P Canterbury : Canterbury Archaeological Trust, 2009, 208pp,
Between March and May 2009, a desk-based archaeological assessment was
undertaken of the cathedral South Precincts following proposals by the Dean and
Chapter to landscape the grounds to provide enhanced visitor facilities. The aim of the
assessment was to provide information about the known and potential archaeological

HERNE BAY
Herne Bay. Conservation Area Appraisal. The Character of a Seaside Town
Harrison, R Canterbury : Canterbury City Council, 2009, 144p, pls, colour pls, figs,
tabs, refs
Work undertaken by: Canterbury City Council
This appraisal examined the key elements that contributed to the special architectural
and historic character of Herne Bay. The character of any town is determined by the
topography of its site, the layout of its streets and open spaces and the age, material
and style of its buildings. The combination of all these factors creates enclosure,
vistas and in the case of historic towns such as Herne Bay a unique, a special, ‘sense
of place’. Two conservation areas were designated in Herne Bay on 3 July 1970 and
were known as Central Parade number 1 and 2. These areas included the groups of
listed buildings on Central Parade, one section extended from Canterbury Road to
Cooper’s Hill and the other section from 81 Central Parade to 20 St George’s Terrace.
The conservation areas were identified for review in the Interim Local Plan written
statement of July 1989. The area was surveyed and possible extensions to the
conservation area were put forward at a public exhibition in 1990. The Herne Bay
Conservation Area was designated on 5 February 1991 and it incorporated the two
earlier Central Parade designations. The City Council considered that the special
interest justifying designation of a conservation area should be defined and analysed
in a written appraisal of its character and appearance. On the coastal plain between
Seasalter and Bishopstone, recent excavation demonstrated the presence of a
widespread pattern of intensive Neolithic, Late Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement
with some sites continuing in occupation into the Roman period. Archaeological
evidence for early settlements in the vicinity has been found on the hill slope within
the eastern quarter of the conservation area. [Au(abr)]

The desk-based assessment demonstrated that the site may have contained the remains
of three post-medieval buildings dating from the 18th century, and possibly earlier,
onwards. It had some potential to contain hitherto undetected archaeological deposits.
The site had an uncertain but low potential to include significant archaeological
deposits of the prehistoric periods. The site had an uncertain but moderate potential to
include significant archaeological deposits of the Roman period, and an uncertain but
low potential to include significant archaeological deposits of the medieval period.
The site had a high potential to include archaeological deposits of the post-medieval
period, due to the known presence of buildings on the site. The possibility the site lay
on wet ground suggested that it had the potential to contain waterlogged deposits.
Such deposits may have included preserved organic material, possibly containing
palaeoenvironmental evidence such as pollen. Waterlogged deposits also had the
potential to include preserved worked materials and artefacts such as those of wood or
leather. Development plans included the demolition of some of the existing school
buildings, and the subsequent construction of new buildings to replace them. The new
buildings would lay in areas already truncated by the original buildings, but there was
some previously undisturbed areas within the proposed footprint which may have
contained in situ archaeological deposits. [Au(abr)]

The study site was shown to have a low to moderate archaeological potential for the
prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval periods. Past post depositional impacts at the
study site were likely to have been severe, principally as a result of 19th century
brickearth quarrying and the construction of the late 20th century Police Station.
The proposed development was unlikely to have a significant archaeological impact.
However, because of the proximity of the site to known Roman, Saxon and medieval

PIPELINE ROUTE, NORTHFLEET GROWTH SCHEME
Archaeological Desk Assessment of pipeline route, Northfleet Growth Scheme, Kent
Sparey-Green, C
As part of the planning of the scheme, an assessment of the archaeological potential
of the proposed route was carried out. The most significant area of interest was the
1.25 km length of the route following the Thames Way which passed down the line of
the Ebbsfleet Valley, an area of great significance for its palaeoenvironmental and
prehistoric occupation remains buried within the riverine silts and peat deposits. There
may also have been remains of Roman and Anglo-Saxon occupation in the upper part
of the stratigraphy. Lower down the valley, the central section on the Stonebridge
Road might have coincided with remains of the original medieval and later bridge
from which the road name was derived. The north-western section of the route, along
the edge of the Thames-side marshes, would also encounter important prehistoric
marsh-edge activity but at the western end would pass through areas heavily disturbed
by construction of the CTRL tunnel portal. For most of its course the pipeline would
pass through a landscape much altered by industrial activity and redevelopment.
Historic borehole logs have shown that a significant proportion of the route was in
made ground, but there remained a risk of impact on undisturbed ground below this,
especially in the upper Ebbsfleet valley and in the section along the Thames marsh
edge. The report assessed the impact of the proposed scheme on the identified
archaeological resource and concluded with recommendations for mitigating the
impact of the scheme. It was proposed that archaeological monitoring of the 35
geotechnical pits along the route would limit the need for archaeological evaluation
and inform whatever further work might be necessary on any significant areas
identified by this means. [Au(abr)]

The Defence of Kent Project has its origins in a strategic study of Kent’s defences
carried out by Victor Smith and Andrew Saunders (Kent’s Defence Heritage, KCC,
2001). This examined a range of defence sites in Kent from the Roman period to the
Cold War and established the broad chronological, technological and geographical
trends that had influenced the development of military architecture and of defensive
methods in the county. It also provided a broad methodology for assessing and
classifying defence sites. The study was not comprehensive, however, and could not

Proposals to Construct an Outdoor Swimming Pool
Samuel, M

figs, tabs, refs
Work undertaken by: Architectural Archaeology
The planned intervention was entirely benign from an archaeological point of view,
apart from the destruction of a 19th century cart shelter. This structure was already in
such poor condition that it would have had to be rebuilt for safety reasons, even if
there had been no plan to build a swimming pool. Assessment of documentary
evidence and topographic probabilities indicated that there was little probability of
encountering medieval deposits or structures associated with the Grange; these
buildings including the medieval chapel lay well to the south. While a single recorded
tile hinted at high-status Late Saxon buildings, these were deemed equally unlikely to
be encountered However, the topographic development outlined did make sense of the
peculiarities in the plan of the north terraces; particularly the apparent reduction in
width of the lower Plat and terraces relative to the triple terraces of the Mount, which
existed before 1750. Such a reduction in width would explain the apparent youth of
the north and south terraces, or at any rate their existing brick revetments. The
possibility of encountering [and partially removing] the putative early terrace wall
was high because the swimming pool as planned ran along it or its site. The pool may
also have truncated earlier terrace surfaces. Other deposits and negative features that
may have been encountered were the cut for the terrace wall and the infill behind it.
The latter may well contain dating evidence. An animal burrow hinted that the
dumped material behind the extant terrace would produce evidence in the form of
bricks and other building materials, including perhaps architectural fragments. Other
finds in the form of household refuse could not be ruled out. This could help closely
date the extant terrace wall. [Au(abr)]

The proposed cable route would not have an impact upon any nationally designated
(protected) sites. The route had a high potential for prehistoric remains. A substantial
late Neolithic/early Bronze Age hilltop settlement is known to have existed in the area
and various earthworks and tumuli are known from aerial photographs throughout the
study corridor. It was likely that further evidence of the prehistoric occupation of the
area would be encountered along the route. The proposed cable route had a low
potential for Roman remains. Although the site was located between the major naval
bases of Dover and Richborough evidence was sparse and it was likely that the area
was used for agricultural purposes. The proposed route had a low potential for
medieval remains. The route had a low potential for post-medieval remains. Historic
map evidence showed that the proposed cable route had developed little over this
period and had remained arable and grazing land. Along most of the cable route
archaeological remains are expected to lie immediately beneath the topsoil with the
exception of the northern part of the route where archaeological remains would have
been truncated by the installation of the Deal-Dover Bulk Supply Water Main
pipeline. In the light of the high potential for evidence of Neolithic and Bronze Age
occupation of the area it was recommended that, during the excavation of the whole
length of proposed cable trench, the work should be subject to watching briefs.

evidence. In addition, in view of the proximity of a Roman settlement and Roman
road, a moderate potential for Roman evidence. The possibility of a First World War
trenching system within the northern part of the study site was also identified. The site
was known to contain the remains of 20th century farm buildings, an in-filled chalk

LAND AT HEVER COURT ROAD, GRAVESEND
An Archaeological Desk-based Assessment of Land at Hever Court Road,
Gravesend, Kent
Russell, C
refs
A Desk-based assessment was prepared for a plot of land at Singlewell, in the
southeast fringes of Gravesend. A review of existing archaeological and historical
sources suggested that the site had a generally moderate potential overall for
containing archaeological deposits, but with a moderate - high potential for the
Bronze Age and Romano-British period. This level of potential for the Bronze Age
was based on the possibility that the site may be incorporated into a Bronze Age field
system, as one has been excavated only 200 m to the south of the site. For the
Romano-British period, it is because the Study Area comprises a considerable number
of sites of this date, including a Roman road that runs directly past the site and an
enclosed settlement 100 m to the southeast, both of which may increase the likelihood
of Romano-British material being discovered. The site had a low potential for
containing archaeological remains for every other period but the Neolithic and Iron
Age, when the potential was moderate, and the medieval period, when it was low moderate. There was the possibility of encountering boundary features and a
temporary shed which date to the 19th and 20th centuries. Any archaeological
deposits to the west w ill have been disturbed to some extent by ploughing, whilst
those to the east may be similarly impacted upon by the uprooting of an orchard.

Cohen, N
London : Gifford, 2009, 57pp, pls, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs
The new pontoon was to be constructed as a free-standing structure, independent of
the existing Town Pier. It was understood that an air-gap would be provided between
the access landing and the T-head, and it was not envisaged to make any physical
contact with the pier itself. Therefore the adverse effects by the scheme on the historic
structure, if any, were considered to be purely visual. The historic fabric of the pier
itself had recently been restored, and it was understood that in this programme of
works the structure was retro-engineered at the east side to allow removal of a section
of ironwork to provide access to the pontoon. While the pier itself would not be
physically impacted by the proposed pontoon extension, the proposals would have a
direct, albeit very localised, impact on any foreshore archaeological deposits through
piling, and may also affect the local flow patterns of the river, leading to increased
scour of, and/or deposition on, the foreshore. These potential changes to deposits
within the river surrounding the pier may have an effect on any surviving
archaeological remains near the foreshore surface. [Au(abr)]

101pp, pls, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs
An archaeological and built heritage assessment was undertaken of the Thames and
Medway Canal in Kent. The assessment concluded that the much altered state of the
canal and its associated structures precluded the canal from any further statutory
protection by way of Listing or Scheduling. The canal was not of national importance,
but it is of regional importance. Some attempts have been made to increase the
accessibility of the Thames and Medway Canal, however its isolated nature, divorced
from Gravesend basin, limited its use by casual walkers and cyclists. In the long term,
opportunities may have arisen to redevelop the industrial area at the east end of
Gravesend basin; this would be an ideal opportunity to reinstate the course of the
canal, and create a leisure facility that could be reached from the centre of Gravesend.
The Interpretation Plan suggested that the canal be presented to the public by means
of interpretation panels at key built heritage resources along the canal, a visitor centre
at Gravesend or Higham and through leaflets, audio guides, guided walks and cycle
rides. Interpretation or exhibition of the canal to the public would require the
organisation of existing research and the identification of areas where further research
is necessary. It should be noted that the interpretation of the canal to visitors would
only be successful if the present limitations upon visitation and use of the canal were
removed. [Au(abr)]

POSTLING TO TOLSFORD HILL
Postling to Tolsford Hill, Proposed EDF Cable Route, County of Kent.
Archaeological desk-based assessment
Featherby, R London : Museum of London Archaeology, 2009, 45pp, colour pls,
figs, refs
There was an uncertain, possibly moderate, potential for prehistoric remains. The
eastern half of the proposed cable route lay close to and possibly crossed the projected
line of an ancient trackway leading to Tolsford Hill to the north-east where Bronze
Age barrows had been identified. A sherd of Iron Age pottery was recovered by
chance c 90m to the north-east of the western end of the proposed cable route, which
might indicate occupation. To the south of the proposed route, archaeological
investigations along the Channel Tunnel Rail Link had revealed evidence of Iron Age
settlement. Current understanding of the nature and extent of early human activity
along the proposed cable route itself was limited as no archaeological investigations
have been carried out in the vicinity in the past. The geology and topography of the
proposed cable route suggested that it was probably not an ideal area for settlement or
farming, in the prehistoric and later periods and was probably heavily wooded. Due to
the relatively poor quality of the soil it was likely that the area remained undeveloped
throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods. If the mole plough technique was
employed then the impact from the proposed cable route on archaeological remains
would be where traditional cut and cover excavation was used and those areas which
are likely to suffer complete removal of deposits as part of the concrete plinth
construction, directional drilling and cable jointing process. These works would
completely remove or truncate any archaeological remains present. The mole plough
cuts a slice through any remaining features or deposits, but does not remove them. If a
preliminary surface-strip and cable trench technique is employed then the impact
would arise from any topsoil stripping within a working width along the cable trench,
the excavation of the cable trench and the concrete foundations for the substations.
These works would completely remove or truncate any archaeological remains
present. In the light of the limited potential for the discovery of archaeological
remains, it is recommended that the proposed works be subject to Basic Observation
and Recording. Basic Observation and Recording consists of the presence of the
attending archaeologist at pre-determined times or at pre-determined locations. The
attending archaeologist should brief the contractor on the likely character of the
archaeological remains and features at the commencement of the project. It is
considered that an archaeologist should be in attendance during all ground reduction
actions, i.e. concrete plinth construction, launch and retrieval pits for directional
drilling, pits for cable/plinth jointing, examination pits, during the removal of
obstacles, and where the cable route crosses the probable medieval field boundaries
north and south of Woodside Farm, if the mole plough used, otherwise at predetermined times but including where the proposed cable route passes Woodside
Farm as mentioned above. [Au(abr)]

Mill House, Stowting, Kent. Archaeological Assessment
Based on the results of this assessment it was considered that the development site’s
location and proximity to the castle site and nearby church, as well as its association
with a mill of potential medieval origin, indicated a high potential for archaeological
evidence to be present within the bounds of the proposed development. Cartographic
evidence suggested a low degree of past impact in the areas of proposed development
and any archaeological deposits present may have survived in good condition.

LAND AT ELLINGTON GIRLS SCHOOL, ST. LAWRENCE, RAMSGATE
Desk Based Archaeological Assessment on Land at Ellington Girls School, St.

Boast, E J
The impacts estimated from a visual and documentary survey of the site were
focussed around the obvious effects of the construction of the Cherry Tree Public
House (Cannon Inn), The Milk Depot and The Ellington School and associated
buildings and services. The assessment identified that the Ellington School site was
located within an area of medium to high archaeological potential. The site was
located close to the historic core of the village of St. Lawrence and a Medieval
Chantry House was recorded as existing adjacent to the site. Based on the distribution
of remains in the landscape of the study area as a whole it was expected that
archaeological remains were present on the site. Generally the remains could be of
Roman, Anglo Saxon and medieval date although archaeology of other periods may
have been present. The assessment identified an area where there was no
archaeological potential, located in the basement part of the main school building.
There were references in the documentary sources to a World War I air raid shelter on
the site but it was unclear whether the reference referred to its location being on the
present site of Ellington Infants and Juniors built in 1939 or the 1914 site of Ellington
Infants and juniors which would at the time have been in the grounds of Wilton Croft.
If it does exist on the site, the shelter is likely to have been a deep cut feature and
would have removed any earlier archaeological features. [Au(abr)]

Work undertaken by: University of Bradford
Eccles was a mid to late Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Kent. The cemeteries of this period
had been under-researched for many years due to the belief that late Anglo-Saxon
burial was egalitarian. However, it was now apparent that social status and identity
were still displayed in the burial rite during this period, but in subtler forms than in
the early periods of Anglo-Saxon burial. This research looked at the impact of health
and disease on the burial rite in this period, by carrying out a detailed pathological
assessment of the human remains from Eccles. The pathological information was
related to the cemetery and gravebased data to investigate links between health and
the burial rite. No spatial or grave based links were found with pathology although
differences between the types of grave goods buried with males and females were
found. A comparison with other Anglo-Saxon populations indicated that in terms of
general health, the Eccles population were normal for an Anglo-Saxon population.
However, there were several rare pathologies at Eccles. Eccles was also unusual in the
high levels of sharp force trauma found at the site and this was suggested to be related
to the development of the Kentish State in the 7th and 8th centuries. [Au(adp)]

Work undertaken by: Nicola R. Bannister
The settlements that lie within and close to the Birling Estate Holdings and their
adjacent fields have their origins in the early medieval period and possibly earlier.
However human exploitation of the landscape at Birling goes back to the time of the
Neolithic and thus there has been a continuity in farming at Birling for probably over
5000 years. Farming has shaped the historic landscape character of this part of the
Medway Valley. In contrast up on the Downs, stock grazing and woodland
exploitation has shaped the landscape of the scarp top and dip-slope valleys. The
archaeological evidence for this continuity in landuse and exploitation takes a number
of forms. [Au]

The assessment concluded that the study site had a moderate to good potential for the
Roman period in the east of the site and a low potential for all other archaeological
periods. No development took place at the site until the early 20th century. The
cutting of footings and service trenches will have had a severe but localised impact on
underlying deposits whilst landscaping will have had a more moderate but widespread
impact. The proposed development could potentially have a severe but localised
impact on underlying deposits, in areas outside the existing building footprints,
through the cutting of new footings and services. Landscaping will have a more
moderate and widespread impact. Due to the moderate to good archaeological
potential at the study site it was therefore considered likely that further mitigation
would be required. In the form of an archaeological monitoring exercise on the topsoil

Work undertaken by: Peter T J Rumley
A non-intrusive interpretive archaeological and historical assessment of the garden,
Ightham Mote Kent, was undertaken in order to inform the conservation strategy of
the property and future development proposals. The moated courtyard manor house,
cottages and garden formed a bequest from Mr Charles Henry Robinson in 1985 with
an endowment from the Colyer- Fergusson Charitable Trust and the structures had
since undergone extensive conservation. The National Trust had previously acquired
the farm and greater estate in 1977. The property comprised 208.42 hectares (516
acres) of land lying in a small south-facing valley 3 miles south of Ightham village.
The scheduled site included an exceptionally well preserved medieval moated manor
house, c1320 (Listed Grade I), with an outer courtyard of buildings on the west side
all set in a multi-phased landscape. This localised landscape contains a series of water
features that have at some period been “designed” and managed to make use of the
valley topography. To this is added the identification of remnant stretches of linear
earthworks in the wider landscape surrounding the manor house, which may relate to
medieval imparkment Ightham Mote’s later post-medieval designed landscape
evolution, whilst of particular interest to the historic development of the property,
does not, perhaps, hold such an important position in the history of ornamental

A desk assessment of the archaeological potential of Yaldham Manor house and farm
was carried out , following on from a previous architectural study of the standing
buildings. From a walkover survey and examination of the most relevant sources there
may be buried remains of significant prehistoric megalithic structures employing
stones from a scatter of sarsens, now mostly dispersed but incorporated in the later
structures. The principal recorded feature was the medieval manor house with service
buildings and recent farm buildings which may mask significant remains of their
medieval predecessors. There is a possibility that these early structures lie within the
outline of a moat, visible today only by the boundary of the 19th century farmyard.
The extensive recent gardens may originate as a medieval deer park. It was suggested

This Archaeological Assessment was undertaken as part of the review of the

assessment did not include any excavations or below ground investigations. However,
from the desk-based assessment and the field visit it was possible to identify areas
which had potential for below ground archaeology and also those areas where the soil
profiles had remained undisturbed. Firstly, the area around the oast house may retain
below ground features relating to the settlement of the farm. Secondly, the two
ancient woodland sites where the soil profiles had not been disturbed i.e. fertilised and
cultivated. However, it should be remembered that part of Folly Shaw was used as a
land fill site by the Borough Council, and there was evidence that part of the valley
slopes of the gill in Roundabout Wood appeared to have been re-landscaped
especially on the north side as part of the development of the housing estates. Thirdly,
the small areas of semi-improved grassland in between the games pitches and the two
woods. Here cultivation and fertilisation has probably taken place but the areas have
not undergone the intense earth moving to create the levelled surfaces. [Au(abr)]

the 1km study radius, including the Grade II Listed War Memorial and Grade II
Listed Medway Hospital Laundry Tower, both of which were clearly visible from
within the site boundary. Based upon the available evidence, there was considered to
be a low potential for significant below ground archaeological remains dating to the
prehistoric period, a medium potential for significant below ground archaeological
remains dating to the Roman and early medieval periods, a low to medium potential
for significant archaeological activity dating to the medieval period and for significant
post-medieval activity, including possible tunnels, and a medium to high potential for
archaeological evidence of modern activity within the southern area of the site. The
aerial photographic evidence identified a rectangular feature which could be evidence
of a Roman building located to the north-west of the development site and may
partially fall within the site boundary. If of Roman provenance, this would suggest a
medium to high potential for significant below ground archaeological remains dating
to the Roman period within the northern section of the proposed development site.

London : Museum of London Archaeology,
The remains of standing buildings and structures on the site of Peter’s Cement Works,
beside the River Medway in Wouldham, west Kent, and in Halling and Holborough
on the opposite bank of the river, were assessed in 2007. Little evidence survived for
the construction, use and development of the cement works and associated
installations. The surviving remains were judged to be of relatively minor
architectural and historic significance, sufficient to justify the retention of selected
elements of them and, in any case, archaeological investigation and recording of them
before their possible destruction. [Au(abr)]

The Site did not contain any nationally designated sites, such as Scheduled
Monuments, Listed Buildings or Registered Parks and Gardens. It did not lay within a
Conservation Area or Archaeological Priority Area as defined by local authority. The
higher ground in the northern and western parts of the site would have been suitable
for settlement throughout all periods, whilst the low-lying marshes across the
remainder of the site were likely to have been exploited for a broad range of
resources. Timber trackways and hulked boats are possible, whilst the preservation of
any organic remains (e.g. timber) was likely to be excellent due to waterlogged
conditions. The site had a high potential for remains dating to the prehistoric period
based on the discovery of Neolithic ditches and Bronze Age to Iron Age pottery and
flints in the northern part of the site. A high potential for the Roman period. The Hoo
peninsula is known to have been a centre for pottery production and evidence for this
has been found both within and adjacent to the site. A moderate potential for medieval
remains in the form of sea walls and an extensive network of drainage channels
constructed as part of marshland reclamation. The potential for post-medieval remains
was low. Agricultural ditches might survive, along with footings of a mid 20th
century oil refinery in the south-western part of the site. Survival of archaeological
remains was anticipated to be generally good across the site, although such remains
were buried beneath substantial dumps of modern made ground, including pulverised
fuel ash.In order to clarify the likely impact of the development, it was proposed that
a programme of archaeological investigation in the form of trial evaluation trenches
and geoarchaeological boreholes be undertaken. Geoarchaeological boreholes were
proposed to assess the deeper and earlier deposits on the alluvial floodplain. [Au(abr)]

The site of the Mid Kent College was reviewed for its archaeological potential. The
site was shown to have potential for the Roman and medieval periods. Past postdepositional impacts within the study site were considered to have been extremely
severe as a result of the existing development. Redevelopment proposals were
considered unlikely to have a significant or widespread archaeological impact. While
further mitigation measures were likely to be required in advance of any development,
it was suggested that these could follow planning consent secured by an
archaeological planning condition. Measures were also implemented to ensure that
Fort Horsted, a designated Scheduled Ancient Monument immediately northeast of
the College site, would not be affected by the proposed development. [Au(abr)]

Bannister, N Ashford : Dr Nicola R. Bannister, 2008, 23pp, figs, tabas, refs
This document set out the method and findings of a historic environment landscape
survey of one of four farm holdings in the Medway Valley, Kent, identified by the
Valley of Visions Partnership. The heritage assessment identified historic
environment assets within the landscape in order to provide the heritage data for a
Farm Environment Plan [FEP] (Higher Level Scheme [HLS] Environmental
Stewardship, Natural England). The information provided guidance on the heritage
options within an HLS, and on sympathetic short term and long term management,
and on options for enhancement. A short desk-based assessment of key archive
sources combined by a rapid field assessment of the farm provided a significant
number of additional heritage features over and above those already recorded on the
Kent Historic Environment Record. These features ranged from the prehistoric period
to the modern, from crop marks to extant earthworks. They were evidence of how this
part of the Medway Valley was farmed and settled from earliest times. Generally the
condition of all the features appeared to be good at the time of the site visit.
Obviously those features which were under arable cultivation would continue to
slowly deteriorate over time. However, it was difficult to make an assessment of the
below ground archaeology and stratigraphy, from an initial walk over. [Au(abr)]

The research demonstrated that while very few known archaeological sites were
within 500m of the development site; this was more likely due to the limited
development and study work conducted in the area rather than an absolute lack of
archaeological remains. In general the potential for prehistoric remains in the area was
low, with two caveats the Neolithic and the Iron Age, which were considered to have
a higher potential. It was considered that there was a low to moderate potential for
Roman remains to be present within the site boundary. Given the proximity of a
known Saxon burial the potential for remains of this period was considered high,
however any such remains were likely to be confined to the east side of the site. There
was a high potential for medieval and post-medieval agricultural features.
Geophysical survey of the area was recommended as an initial stage, followed by a
programme of targeted sample trenching. [Au(adp)]

Buried remains are possible on the site. However, the remains were likely to just
consisted of surfaces associated with the use of the area as a wharf for loading and
unloading of river-transported materials in the medieval and post-medieval periods. It
was unlikely that any structures would be present It was difficult to assert
unequivocally how deep any archaeology might be as no archaeological excavation
work has been carried out on Upper Fisher Row to any real depth. It was also unclear
as to how much the land was raised to create the Bank initially. The site in this respect
represented a special case. The depth and design of any footings associated with the
current building plot on the site was not known, but these were likely to be substantial
for the main building because of the site’s location next to the streams and its height.
The cellar was likely to have impacted against some of the archaeological remains but
as it is known to be only a half cellar it was possible, although unlikely, that earlier
deposits could have survived below this impact level depending on the depth of the
natural in this area. Also, No. 46 had been subject to various modifications as too had
the dog legged building behind. This would have had a detrimental effect on any

Scheduled Ancient Monument of Watchfield Anglo-Saxon cemetery lay c100m to the

continuous activity from the Mesolithic through to the medieval periods. Current
archaeological evidence suggested that the main areas of activity were situated to the
east. However, it was possible that further Mesolithic activity may be found within
the development area. An Early-Middle Iron Age field system may also extend into
the area, as well as an undated curvilinear ditch and medieval and post-medieval pits.

A rapid archaeological appraisal of the Mayflower Plaza site, Southampton was

archaeological and cultural heritage constraints relevant to the site. The appraisal
identified that the site had the potential to contain archaeological deposits of
prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval date, and that the underlying gravels were
also of potential geoarchaeological significance. The medieval potential was related to
a nationally significant urban water management system. The appraisal also identified
ten Listed buildings and one registered historic park adjacent to the site, and identified
possible impacts upon their settings. The appraisal concluded that a comprehensive
programme of archaeological fieldwork was likely to be required to mitigate the
impact of any proposed development upon the predicted archaeological potential. The

The total development site covered c.0.45ha, although the main impact on potential
archaeological remains will be in the area of the proposed new buildings. All the areas
of proposed new build, however, were located over parts of the site that had been
developed at least once, if no two or three times already. Any archaeological material
that may have been present on this site was, therefore, highly likely to have been
removed or severely truncated. [Au(adp)]

The archaeological potential for this site was considered to be high. This was due to
its location within the limits of the Saxon and medieval town development. Previous
development of the site from at least the 19th century may have removed potential
archaeological deposits, however, as has been seen with other sites within Guildford
such as Swan Lane and properties along the High Street, archaeological deposits may
have survived to greater depths and if they existed may not therefore have been
completely destroyed. [Au(adp)]

Gavin York : SLR Consulting Ltd., 2009, 35pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs
There was no record of archaeological sites, feature or remains within the
development area. Colekitchen Farm must have dated from at least the 17th century,
the date of the earliest timber fabric surviving in the building, and the earliest
mapping showed the farm in 1729. Apart from the farmhouse, the cart shed and flint
barn, the farm buildings were probably of late 19th century date or later, and most
were clearly modern, standing on breeze block footings and having concrete floors.
These together with the presumed related drainage and services around the buildings
will have caused some disturbance to potential archaeological remains and deposits.
WWII defences guarding the southern approach to London were identified in the
general vicinity of the farmhouse and beyond. [Au(adp)]

Within the proposed scheme there were a significant number of sites and findspots,
suggesting that the area had been occupied, in varying degrees, since the late
Palaeolithic. No discoveries had actually been made on the site of the proposed
scheme. However, there had been a number of important finds immediately adjacent
to the site, which suggested the potential for the occurrence of archaeological remains
was quite high. It was recommended that detailed field evaluation was conducted in
areas where ground level was to be reduced. The high potential for the survival of
waterlogged organic and environmental evidence meant that appropriate sampling
strategies should be included in the evaluation process. [Au(adp)]

The study site "can be shown" to have a low to moderate archaeological potential for
the Iron Age and low archaeological potential for all remaining past periods. The site
remained undeveloped until the second half of the 19th century when a building was
constructed in the south of the site. Due to the past post-depositional impacts of
terracing, landforming and construction throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the

The proposal site at Stanwell was located within an area where prehistoric
archaeology of national importance had been found. The complex of Neolithic
through to Roman period remains found at Terminal 5 was indicative of the general
spread of periods and density of remains which watching briefs, evaluations and
excavations had largely revealed in and around Stanwell village. The negative
evidence indicated that there had been archaeological interventions in the vicinity of
the proposal site. These however could not be understood to indicate either the
presence or absence of archaeological remains within the proposal area. The proposed
development was likely to encounter prehistoric archaeology. Potential remains being
likely to be small discrete features, such as pits or post holes. The dating for such
remains extends from the Neolithic until the Roman period. There were no known
finds of Saxon or medieval remains in the vicinity of the proposal area. The historic
field in which the proposal area was located formerly gave onto the High Street. It
was nevertheless unlikely that the medieval village of Stanwell extended so far to the
southeast, and has subsequently contracted. It is always possible that small isolated
settlement activity might be present. The proposal site was shown as fields from 1748,
when it comprised three fields, until 1970, when it comprised one. The 1840 Tithe
Map shows the proposal site within the same field until 1970, which was strongly
suggestive of the field having been created in 1789 or thereabouts. The proposal site
may well have traces of field boundaries, such as ditches, although clearly the field
boundaries may have been fence or hedge-lines. There was no other indicated
potential post-medieval archaeology on the site. [Au(abr)]

CRANLEIGH VILLAGE HOSPITAL, HIGH STREET CRANLEIGH

Carter, N
tabs, refs
The proposed development scheme indicated the construction of a new part 1/part 2
storey health park across the western section and southern half of the eastern section
of the site. This would require the demolition of the existing 1960s/1970s Health
Centre and all extant structures within the Village Hospital site which post-dated the
1901 extensions. Cranleigh Village Hospital, located in the east of the site, was a
Grade II Listed Building. The assessment identified a total of 25 Grade II and one
Grade II* Listed Buildings within the 1km study area, the closest being the Grade II
Listed 17th century building, currently housing a restaurant, fronting on to the south
side of the High Street adjacent the site to the west. These buildings and features
themselves were considered to be of archaeological interest and may have been of
earlier origin or comprised earlier elements. Expansion of the hospital and further
development in the 20th century would have likely impacted both these and earlier
evidence, if present, with the greatest impact likely to be from the 1960s health centre
in the western section of the site. There was a low potential for archaeological
evidence of significant human activity dating to the prehistoric and Roman periods.
Iron Age and Roman settlement activity and field systems identified c.800m to the
north of the site showed the area of Cranleigh was inhabited and actively utilised
during this period, however there was no evidence to suggest significant activity
(settlement, industrial, ritual etc.) within the vicinity of the proposed development site
at this time. Based upon the available evidence, there was therefore considered to be a
medium to high potential for evidence of significant archaeological activity within the
bounds of the proposed development site dating to the medieval period. The
archaeological potential for post-medieval activity was similarly medium to high,
based upon the assumed low to medium impact from later development. [Au(adp)]

The site had an uncertain, possibly low, potential to contain archaeological remains
dated to the prehistoric period given the site's location on heavy soils of Weald clay,
which would not have been conducive to early agriculture. The site had an uncertain
potential to contain remains dated to the Roman period. There were no known sites or
finds of Roman date within the study area and current understanding of the area at this
time was poor. The site had a low potential to contain archaeological remains dated to
the early medieval period due to the site location on the eastern periphery of the estate
of Field some distance from any known medieval settlement. The site had a low
potential to contain archaeological remains dated to the later medieval period as the
site was probably still open fields or woodland some distance from the main
settlement, but as it lay along the main road, the possibility of roadside settlement
could not be entirely discounted. The site had a high potential to contain remains
dated to the post-medieval period. The earliest map consulted dated 1795 showed the
presence of five buildings in an enclosed field called Charter Hurst and on subsequent
historic maps, up to 1961, the same five buildings were still present, variously called
Crawley Cottage and barn and Crawley Lodge. Therefore the site had potential for the
remains of footings for these buildings, particularly along the currently open part of
the site fronting Brighton Road. The existing building had medium depth trench fill
concrete foundations which may have removed archaeological remains locally. At
least half of the site had never been developed and archaeological survival was
anticipated to be good. The proposed building would have bored piled foundations
which would remove any archaeological remains within their footprint. The proposed
landscaping, tree and shrub planting, as well as demolition and proposed work on
services at the site would have an impact upon any archaeological remains present.

Russell, C
refs
A desk-based assessment was prepared for a plot of land to the immediate north of
Billingshurst West Sussex. A review of existing archaeological and historical sources
suggested that the site had a low potential for containing archaeological deposits
dating to the prehistoric, Anglo-Saxon and post-medieval periods. Although Stane
Street (a Roman road) forms part of the site, the proposed residential development
was to be restricted to the rest of the site. It was, therefore, unlikely that any remains
of the road, which have survived the construction of the old A29, would be affected
by the adjacent building work. The non-road element of the site had moderate
potential for comprising archaeological remains of the Romano-British period, purely
because of its close proximity to the Roman road. The site also had moderate potential
for containing medieval archaeological deposits, as the ancient field name suggested a
possible connection with a manorial site. Ploughing and cultivation is likely to have
truncated any archaeological deposits to an unknown extent. [Au(abr)]

The assessment highlighted that the site had some archaeological potential for finds
and features of the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods. The site area appeared to have
low potential for finds or features of the later Prehistoric, Roman or Saxon periods,
which would be consistent with the results of evaluation trenching associated with
earlier phases of development. During the Medieval period the site was likely to have
been partly, or completely included within a deer park and only been used or returned
to agricultural use after the mid-late 17th century. As such it had limited
archaeological potential. The site had been utilised for agricultural purposes since the
mid-late 17th century and the potential for significant finds or features of this period
was considered low. The main archaeological potential for the site was for stray finds
of Mesolithic date, which may most effectively be recovered through a programme of
intensive fieldwalking. The geoarchaeological assessment also highlighted the fact
that Palaeolithic finds and associated palaeoenvironmental data may also be preserved
on site, although such finds were currently acknowledged to be rare from the middle
reaches of the River Adur. [Au(abr)]

The site/pipeline route was considered to have regionally low to medium
archaeological potential for all periods except Anglo-Saxon and post-medieval
periods for which a low potential for any in situ remains seemed more appropriate.
The lack of any record of occupation in the area during the Anglo-Saxon period and
apparent absence of any recorded post-medieval archaeological features along the
pipeline's proposed route suggested there was limited potential for any archaeology
from these periods being encountered during this development. [Au(abr)]

It was considered that there was a moderate to high potential for archaeological
remains to be present within the Chichester campus site. Particularly relating to
activity in the Late Bronze Age/ Early Iron Age, Romano-British, medieval and postmedieval periods. There was a moderate to high potential for archaeological remains
to be present within the Brinsbury campus site. Bronze Age activity was demonstrated
on the same ridge of land that the campus occupies, though it was unknown what
form this activity took or whether it extended further to the east along the ridge.
Romano-British deposits associated with Stane Street may survive at the site entrance,
and there was potential for building footings relating to occupation of the site and its
use as a farm from the medieval period onwards to survive across the site. [Au(adp)]

The site had a generally low potential for containing archaeological deposits of
prehistoric to medieval date. A single findspot of Roman pottery was known from the
site as well as the course of a possible Roman or earlier ridgeway track. The site was
considered to have a moderate potential of containing evidence of Mesolithic activity
as well as moderate potential of containing archaeological deposits of post-medieval
date, particularly associated with a number of known historic sites of the period,
historic hedgerows, including possible deer park boundaries, and Second World War
activity. The construction of the existing golf course was likely to have had an impact
on archaeological deposits in the north of the site. However, the majority may have
received little disturbance due to the historic landuse being mainly formed of pasture.

A desk-based assessment was prepared for the Steyning Grammar School site
(including Fletcher’s Croft), School Lane, Steyning in advance of a proposed new
boarding house. A review of existing archaeological and historical sources suggested
that the site had a high potential for containing archaeological deposits of AngloSaxon and medieval date. The site had been terraced in modern times, although the
impact upon the archaeological resource was considered to vary. A preliminary
assessment of the impact of the proposed development on adjacent Listed Buildings
identified that the proposed development would be visible from 13 Listed Buildings.
The evidence was reviewed and recommendations for further mitigation were offered.

There were no statutorily designated (protected) archaeological sites within the
proposed
development site. The site had a high potential to contain later medieval and postmedieval
remains. During these periods a farmstead called Little Gibbshaven was located in the
south-western part of the site, and evidence of the footings of later medieval and postmedieval farm buildings and farm yard may survive. The site had low-moderate
potential to contain prehistoric and Roman remains. Significant Mesolithic and
Neolithic artefact scatters had been found in the area, and similar finds may be present
within the site. A Roman road and three probable Roman bloomeries were located
within the vicinity of the site, and additional evidence of Roman ironworking may
exist. Archaeological remains, where they survive, were likely to be cut into the
natural geology located immediately below the modern gravel or tarmac surface.
Remains present in the south-west tip of the site would be sealed beneath a deposit of
made ground, due to this area of the site being built up to create a level platform for
greenhouses. Archaeological remains present may be well preserved on the site, due
to the low level of past impacts. Almost 80% of the site was covered with
greenhouses, small ancillary buildings and hard standing, with only the south-west
corner remaining relatively undeveloped. [Au(abr)]

Listed Buildings so there would be no adverse impact on any of them. The site lay in
the historic core of Worthing. The map regression exercise illustrated that much of the
site had only been developed since the late 19th century. The majority of the site had
low potential for archaeological remains because of this development, which is likely
to have disturbed any surviving archaeological remains. The proposal site was
considered to be of moderate potential for the discovery of post-medieval remains.
Significant archaeological remains were not expected to be found. Therefore,
archaeological remains should not preclude development on the site and should not

The site lay on a geological outcrop not usually regarded as being of high

work in the environs had revealed a modest range of archaeological finds and sites.
The site lay adjacent to the historic core of Shinfield and also contained an earthwork
recorded as being a medieval moat, usually considered to be a manorial site or
hunting lodge complex. Identification as a moat was not confirmed and it was
possible that the feature was simply a clay extraction pit. It would be necessary to
provide further information about the potential of the site from field evaluation in
order to draw up a scheme to mitigate the impact of development on any
archaeological deposits if necessary. Any mitigation required could involve
preservation in-situ by sympathetic landscape design, for example by the inclusion of
zones of interest as areas of public open space or nature conservation. [Au(abr)]

BELLOTT'S HOSPITAL, BEAU STREET, BATH
Bellott's Hospital, Beau Street, Bath. Archaeological Desk-based Assessment
Davenport, P Kemble : Cotswold Archaeology, 2009, 17pp, colour pls, figs, tabs,
refs
A desk-based assessment was carried out relating to proposals for development at
Bellott’s Hospital. The objective of the assessment was to identify the nature and
extent of the recorded archaeological resource within both the site and its immediate
environs and the effect of the proposals. The site was in the historic core of Roman
and medieval Bath and in an area known to contain significant archaeological
deposits. Major excavations revealing Roman remains had been carried out in the
immediate vicinity under the Gainsborough Building, on the site of the New Royal
Baths and at least two other points along Beau Street. These excavations all revealed
Roman masonry buildings and other deposits, although post-Roman deposits were
restricted to shallow dark earth deposits, probably of early medieval date, truncated
medieval rubbish pits and post-medieval deposits and structures. Observations took
place in the basements of Bellott’s Hospital itself during works in 1999, which
revealed important Roman deposits, consisting of a street, multiple phases of
substantial masonry and probably timber buildings and the existence of a well
preserved smithy of late Roman date. The Roman deposits were covered by a thin
layer of dark earth, sealed by the Victorian paving slabs. Part of the deposits under the
garden were also seen, which, being uncellared, seemed to span the early medieval to
post-medieval periods. The works in 1999 removed the dark earth and a small amount
of the upper Roman deposits, but also involved the excavation of service trenches
through the deposits. The current proposals involved the construction of a cut and
cover tunnel across Bilbury Lane to link the basements at the north-east corner of the
Gainsborough Building with the opposite section of the basements of Bellott’s. The
levels of the basements relative to the street level required that tunnel be dropped to a
lower level than either basement, linked at each end by steps to make the transition.
Given the depth of the known archaeological remains, the tunnel may have had an
impact on surviving deposits still in existence in the two basements, and on the
deposits under Bilbury Lane. A two-storey extension at the rear [south] of the existing
building at Bellott’s is not planned to have basements but given the better apparent
survival of deposits here, any foundations below 0.75m were likely to affect such
buried remains. [Au(abr)]

The desk-based assessment indicated that the Site lay in an area of known high
potential for archaeological remains of pre-medieval date. From the medieval period
onwards, the site lay within the open (possibly pasture) lands as part of the Ashton
Court Estate. The site remained largely undeveloped throughout the medieval and
industrial periods, although there was an increase in the mineral exploitation of the
wider area (mainly coal). After the lease of the land to the Football Club from the
Ashton Court Estate, the site and immediate surrounding area had remained in use by
sporting facilities. The stadium footprint itself was shown to have shifted early in the
20th century and there are some references to at least four phases of reconstruction in
the mid/late 20th century. Listed Buildings are located near to the site, although it was
not anticipated that the proposed development of the site would have any detrimental
impacts on their settings. Previous disturbance associated with the construction and
operation of the stadium and support buildings would have caused disturbance to any
archaeological remains that may have been present within its footprint within those
areas where foundations into existing ground were required. Due to the uncertain or
low potential for significant archaeological remains to be present within the site, and
the minimal impact that the redevelopment would have on archaeological remains, it
was not anticipated that any further archaeological works would be necessary within
the area. Because of the potential interest in the stadium itself, it may have been
necessary to undertake a building recording survey on the stadium structure and also
any infrastructure dating to its earlier phases. [Au(abr)]

The site was first developed between 1842 and 1882, a date in the 1850s was most
likely for the building of terraced housing on the site to have taken place. There was
no specific evidence to indicate the use of the site prior to the 19th century, therefore
fields or common land appeared to be the most likely use. Archaeological deposits
within the study area were unlikely to have escaped disturbance completely, however,
pockets of undisturbed deposits were possible. The archaeological potential of the
study area was limited, however if undisturbed archaeological deposits were present
on the site, the proposed development was likely to have a significant impact upon
them. [Au(abr)]

LAND AT CHESTERFIELD HOSPITAL, CLIFTON
Archaeological Desk-based Assessment of Land at Chesterfield Hospital, Clifton
Hill, Clifton, Bristol
Roper, S
The study area was located within the medieval settlement of Clifton, believed to have
been in existence from the 9th century. Relatively little was known about the
medieval origins of the settlement, much of the area being redeveloped in the 18th
century. The main house of Clifton Court and the stable block were built in 1742 for
Martha Goldney and Nehemiah Champion II. Additional structures were added in the
19th century. The garden to the rear of the main house did not appear to have had any
substantial buildings built upon it until the 20th century when the property was
converted to a nursing home. Archaeological deposits within the study area are
unlikely to have escaped disturbance completely, however, large pockets of
undisturbed deposits are possible. Deposits located within the gardens of the main
house are likely to have experienced the least disturbance. In these areas sealed
medieval and early post-medieval deposits may still be found which could provide an
insight into the use of the study area during these periods, and thus the development
of the medieval village of Clifton. [Au(abr)]

LAND OCCUPIED BY WINSTANLEY HOUSE, HOLMES STREET, BARTON HILL
Archaeological Desk-based Assessment of Land Occupied by Winstanley House,
Holmes Street, Barton Hill, Bristol
Longman, T Bristol : Bristol & Region Archaeological Services, 2009, 28pp, colour
An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out at ‘Winstanley House’,
Holmes Road in Barton Hill. The group of inter-connected two-storey residential
buildings (Nos. 1-33 Winstanley House) had occupied the site since 1972. Until the
early 1970s and construction of the present buildings the study area was occupied by
an 18th/19th century cottage (later subdivided) on Barton Hill Lane (later Queen Ann
Road) and late 19th century terraced housing fronting on Holmes Street, Goulter
Street and Queen Ann Road. Prior to construction of the terraced houses from the late
1870s/early 1880s, the study area lay within two fields to the south of Barton Hill
Lane (now Queen Ann Road). They were known, in 1847, as "Garden land" (probably
referring to its use for market gardening) and "House & land". The latter areal unit
was shown on plans from 1828 onwards as including a dwelling. Planning permission
was granted in December 1971 for the "erection of 32 elderly persons dwellings on
two storeys, together with common room, laundry and warden’s bungalow". A trawl
of the Historic Environment Record (BHER) showed no archaeological entries
(excluding the current project) within the study area. [Au(abr)]

Archaeological Desk-based Assessment of Northwick Villa, No. 6 College Fields,
Clifton, Bristol
Longman, T Bristol : Bristol & Region Archaeological Services, 2009, 39pp, colour
An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out at "Northwick Villa", 6
College Fields in Clifton. Documentary and cartographic evidence indicated that the
existing house had occupied the site since c.1871. Until it's construction, the study
area lay in farmland within a small field on the edge of Durdham Down known in
1746 and 1844 as "Three Acres West Ground" and in 1867 as "Little West Ground".
In 1867 the study area was described in an Indenture Agreement involving the sale of
land by Francis Adams, Gent. To James Rowe Shorland, Builder. The present house
was built within the study area in 1871. From 1872 until 1933 the three-storey
detached house was a private residence, but in February 1933 it was bought by Clifton
College. In 1947 the building was being used by Bristol City Council as ‘City
Engineer & Surveyors’ offices. In 1951 it was subdivided into flats. The house
became a private residence again in August 2000 when the school sold the property .
The current owners, bought the property in 2006. Planning permission was
subsequently granted in 2007 for the conversion of the ground floor flat into offices,
with the first and second floors comprising the living accommodation. [Au(abr)]

It was concluded that the site consisted of open agricultural or horticultural land until
the early 19th century, after which it was successively developed for a public house
and residential properties. Modern development as a service station is likely to have
further impacted on any buried remains present on the site. Accordingly, on the basis
of the documentary sources consulted for the project, the study area was considered to
have low potential for the survival of significant buried archaeological deposits.

A desk-based assessment found the milking parlour had long been part of the Ashton
Court Estate, which the Smyth family owned from the mid 16th century until 1946. In
probably the early 19th century, a rectangular building was erected as a smithy. This
was followed, after 1842, but before 1865, by a milking parlour with neo-Tudor type
façade, built on the south-east side of the smithy, partly on the site of an earlier small
shed. Finally, a small south-west one-room extension was added, no long before the
First World War. Both of the larger structures were roofless for many years, but the
extension remained in reasonable condition. [Au(abr)]

On the basis of the evidence gathered, it was concluded that Area 2 and the southwestern half of Area 1 at Kingswear and Torpoint roads where terracing for housing
had occurred had little potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains. The
recent historic use of the land in the north-east of Area 1 for agriculture and as
allotment gardens suggested there was greater potential for the survival of undisturbed
buried archaeological deposits at this location. This was supported by the relict hedge
line, a long-lived landscape feature possibly following a former stream course that
crossed Area 1. [Au(abr)]

The two school buildings were located in the centre of the site, with extensive grassed
playing fields to the south and hard-standing playgrounds and car parking to the north.
Another small further playground was located to the east of the school buildings with
a sports court and a nature conservation area, including a small pond, to the west of
the buildings. The site did not contain, or lay within, any currently known statutory
protected heritage features that were likely to constrain proposed design works. A
detached section of the Grade II Registered Park and Garden of Kings Weston House
was located adjacent to the site, to the south-east. Any proposed development works
would need to respect the character and setting of this Registered Park and Garden. A
review of cartographic evidence suggested the site remained undeveloped prior to the
construction of the original school buildings during the early 1960s, which remained
extant on the site. The post-medieval settlement of Kings Weston, thought to originate
in the medieval period, is located to the north-west and west of the school site. The
site may have lain within the agricultural hinterland of the settlement during the
medieval to post-medieval periods. Based on the evidence there was considered to be
a medium to high potential for encountering significant archaeological evidence
dating to the Roman periods within the bounds of the proposed development site and
a low potential for encountering significant archaeological evidence dating to all other
periods. [Au(adp)]

Work undertaken by: AC archaeology
An archaeology and cultural heritage assessment of a proposed overhead power cable
on land between Landulph and Milehouse, near Botusfleming, was prepared. The
cable route passed through an undulating agricultural landscape dominated by pasture,
and characterised by a pattern of fields and woodland that had changed little since the
middle ages. While there were no known archaeological sites directly affected by the
scheme, in one field crossed by the route shattered pebbles possibly of prehistoric date
had been previously found. Possibly of more significance were a series of field names
transcribed from the various parish tithe apportionments. These included a "Barn
Field", a "Brick Field" and "Blackhavens". The two former names were selfexplanatory, but the element "Black" within a field name often indicates settlement or
industrial activity in the area. The cable was to be supported by a number of wooden
poles and therefore the impact on any hitherto unrecorded buried archaeological
remains was likely to be minor and highly localised. One of the supports was located
near to Moditonham House lodges and gate piers. These were Grade II Listed
Buildings. [Au(abr)]

The Hurlers, a triple stone circle monument that was one of Cornwall’s most famous
and most visited prehistoric monuments, was assessed. It was located at Minions, on
south-east Bodmin Moor. Over the centuries the monument had stood in a variable
condition and had been sketched, planned and described by a variety of commentators
and was the focus for much antiquarian interest. In the mid 1930s the site was taken
into guardianship and was partially restored. Details of the excavations which took
place as part of this restoration programme were never published. This report
presented the results of an assessment of a wide range of historical sources alongside
an appraisal of unpublished archival material relating to the 1930s excavations and
restoration programme. A new survey of the monument was also carried out. There
was now a considerable amount of new information about the Hurlers which could be
drawn together to inform future fieldwork, provide a detailed account of the past
restoration of the monument as well as fed into long-term management and

races to deliver the news of the Battle of Trafalgar, the harbour walls which formed
the eastern boundary of the site, and a post which was located within the northwestern corner of the site and was thought to have been constructed when the
gasworks was in operation. A considerable number of Listed Buildings and

The assessment located eight sites within the area of the assessment, and 12 field
boundaries. The sites included a former small field enclosure and two associated
structures, trackways, a range of east to west aligned allotments first mapped in 1880,
roadside quarries, a modern track and building and a roadside structure of uncertain
date and function. Most of these were likely to have left no remains, while others
were not significant. However, of the twelve boundaries identified within the study
area, seven have been shown to be essentially unchanged since they were mapped on
the Tithe map in 1843. These were of potential medieval origin and formed a remnant
part of the field systems surrounding Gerrans and Portscatho. It was not known
whether the use of the area as allotments will have caused significantly deep
disturbance. Given the site’s proximity to medieval, Bronze Age and Early Neolithic
activity, and the fact that the area had remained essentially unaltered since the Tithe
map, there was the potential for buried archaeological remains to exist within the
study area, which would require recording. It was recommended that a watching brief
should take place during topsoil stripping across the site. In addition it was
recommended that the seven Tithe mapped boundaries were recorded in section if
breached or removed. This could involve sampling of buried soils, which would then
require analysis. [Au(abr)]

The site lay within the World Heritage Site for Cornish mining and occupied an area
that was worked during the late 18th and 19th century as part of Wheal Primrose and
Wheal Turnavore mines. These mines subsequently became incorporated into West
Pink mine and later Wheal Friendly, Polberro and West Kitty tin mines which were
worked until the early years of the 20th century. The layout of the area set on a steep
slope included small terraced enclosures, hedge boundaries, revetments and paths
which have changed very little since 1880 and two 19th century buildings remained in
situ (sites 40 and 36). Three shafts and areas of dumped mine waste in the southern
half of the site were also still visible from the surface. Fifty-eight sites were identified
by this assessment within the study area. They included the site of Wheal Primrose
mine, the potential site of an engine house, three known mine shafts, at least three
more potential mine shafts and prospecting pits, the site of a mine building, the site of
19th century cottages, two in situ 19th century buildings and a series of 18th or 19th
century terraced plots with associated revetment walls and Cornish hedges which
were likely to have been associated with mining activity. Recommendations for
further archaeological work included a watching brief during any geotechnical
trenching carried out to assess the mining remains, a watching brief during any shaft
capping works and an evaluation of the site once occupied by Wheal Primrose prior to
development to determine the presence/absence of the remains of an engine house and
locate any remains of the mine building here shown on the Tithe map of c1840.
Results of the evaluation would determine the need for any further archaeological
work in this area. It was also suggested that existing revetment walls, Cornish hedges
and terraced plots shown on the c1880 OS map should be retained wherever possible.

Council
An archaeological assessment of the proposed Truro East Park and Ride Scheme,
focused around the main A390 and A39 junction on the eastern side of Truro was
carried out. The assessment looked at a group of eight fields, the three largest of
which were earmarked for the Park and Ride scheme itself. A number of sites were
identified in the immediate vicinity. These included a number of medieval farm
settlement sites, some with potential early medieval or earlier origins, with associated
fields extending in to the project area and post-medieval urban and communication
[road] related sites. On the immediate northern periphery of the project area was the
Scheduled site of Polwhele Castle, an Iron Age or Roman “round” [settlement] with
associated field systems to the north and south, pits, a round house and a kiln site. The
southern portion of the field system appeared to extend in to the project area, and it
was expected that as yet unidentified features related to both the round and the other
medieval or earlier settlement sites would also do so. The whole project area fell
within a landscape that had been classified as Anciently Enclosed Land, which
comprised a history of settlement since at least medieval times and frequently
contained archaeological remains dating to the prehistoric and the medieval period.
Sites identified within the actual project area, identified by the desk-based study and
the walkover survey, included: one site possibly of Regional Importance, a cropmark;
fourteen sites of Local Importance including an 1842 mapped quarry, an 1880
structure, removed potential medieval boundaries, mounds, lanes and roads, low-lying
waterlogged areas with internal elements, scratching post and a steep slope altered by
human activity, potentially since prehistoric times; and eight sites which were either
natural features or non-antiquities, including modern agricultural features likely to
leave some trace below topsoil. There were, in addition, two sites which had not been
graded. These comprised small intrusive blocks of housing and the parish boundary,
which followed a post 1880 route. A geophysical survey identified a significant
number of subsurface features and alignments, including former Cornish hedge
boundaries, a range of differently shaped and dated enclosures, plus other medieval or
earlier field system elements and potential pits. A specific curvilinear enclosure and
related anomalies may have been of particular significance. In addition, some of the
features identified by geophysical survey in Areas 1 and 2 may have been directly
related to Polwhele Castle. The potential for related find scatters was moderately high.
The archaeological significance of the area largely related to its character as Anciently
Enclosed Land, in particular the survival of ditch boundaries and field patterns largely
unchanged since the mid 19th century, the evidence for the below-ground survival of
archaeological features demonstrated by the geophysical survey [probably including
prehistoric field systems and quite probably prehistoric settlements], and the likely
association of remains with the Scheduled site of Polwhele Castle. The impact of the
proposed development was assessed and mitigation measures put forward. These
included a programme of evaluation trenching and a controlled topsoil strip. Further
mitigation measures, in the form of detailed excavation, may be required, dependent
on the results of further evaluation. [Au(abr)]

Conker Burrows [West Wheal Providence], Fraddam, Cornwall. Archaeological
Assessment
Sharpe, A
Council
An assessment was carried out at Wheal Bottoms, a copper and tin mine within the
Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. The survey
strongly suggested that there had been an early and undocumented phase of outcrop
working throughout the whole of the site, continuing on to the south-west, along its
north-western boundary. Subsequent episodes of mining during the mid 19th century
had utilised a small number of deep shafts, again set close to the position of the lode
outcrop. No traces of the documented engine houses and other structures were found,
although extensive spreads of tailings and sands suggested the locations of the mine
dressing floors. All of the shafts were found to be choked near surface. It was
concluded that that archaeological value of the site had been very considerably

Parkes, C
Council
The Barrowfields project was designed to record and discuss the archaeological
resource and potential of the area, with proposals and guidance for further
archaeological and historical research, and initial recommendations for the long-term
management of the site. The predominant archaeological features of the Barrowfields
were the barrows which gave the site its name, laid out in a roughly linear group
along the cliff tops like scattered links of a chain, part worn away in modern times
and part buried. These were dated to the Early Bronze Age. The assessment identified
factors relevant to the protection, enhancement and use of the Barrowfields. [Au(abr)]

LAND AT GOLPHIN FARM, CARCLAZE, ST. AUSTELL

Heritage Assessment

tabs, refs
There were no pre-industrial archaeological sites at Golphin Farm, with the farmhouse
itself constructed in the second half of the 19th century. Prior to this the site lay
within unenclosed moorland. The importance of Golphin Farm lay in its close
association with Carclaze Old Tin Pit which lay c.500m upslope and was said to have
been in full work for tin in the 15th century. It grew to become one of the largest and
certainly the most famous of the Cornish open tin workings of the 18th and early 19th
century. The site was crossed below ground by an early 18th century canal tunnel
connecting Carclaze Old Tin Pit with stamps and floors used for dressing the ore,
located to the south of the farm. The tunnel was believed to be the oldest underground
canal in Britain and, although it went out of use after the entrance collapsed in the
1730s, its subsequent refurbishment for a tramway prolonged its life until the late
1920s before being finally abandoned. The site was crossed at surface level from
north to south by a meandering shallow gully, which clearly descended from the
Carclaze Pit direction. This could be an increasingly rare example of a late medieval
or early post-medieval tin streaming site. [Au(abr)]

Services, 2010, 57pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs
Work undertaken by: Context One Archaeological Services
The evidence collated during the assessment revealed that there was a high potential
for the survival of archaeological remains within both areas of the proposed path. Map
regression evidence showed that the site has had few previous impacts and had been
largely pasture or arable fields since at least the late 18th century, mapping suggested
that this date could extend back to the late medieval period. A small number of
structures and features were identified on the maps but, with the exception of large
areas of excavation such as pits and quarries, these would have had little impact on
any potential earlier archaeological remains. Between Seaton and Colyford, the
proposed route of the multi-user path crossed an area where salt-working took place
in the 18th century, and possibly earlier. Palaeoenvironmental deposits were located
in the area of Seaton Marshes and there was a high potential for the preservation of
organic material here, such as waterlogged wooden artefacts should they exist. The
area around Colyford Common also contained remnants of complicated land divisions
that evidence the high value of the land associated with the production of salt-hay in
the medieval and post-medieval periods. Boundary stones and posts may still be
present in situ but none were identified during the walkover survey. Both areas passed
close to the remains of the World War II Taunton Stop Line. Running between
Bridgwater and Axmouth, this was one of more than 50 defensive lines protecting
England. It was constructed in 1940 but was never fully operational. Although some
of the associated structures and features of the defences have been lost, many of them
still survive, particularly in the Weycroft area. There was some data to suggest that
evidence relating to the prehistoric and Roman periods might also be found along the
cycle route but this was based on limited evidence well beyond the study areas.

Assessment of the airport determined that it was first developed in the 1930s,
becoming an RAF station during WWII and reverting to civilian use after the war.
Within the general area of the airport there was widespread evidence for prehistoric
occupation, as well as some Roman activity. Military use of the airport during WWII
was quite intense, and entailed the construction of buildings and structures. However,
it was thought that any pre-modern archaeological remains may be relatively wellpreserved and as a result archaeological monitoring of any groundworks to be carried

The site was found to be difficult to assess, since the original contours could not be

terracing necessary for housing and workshops suggested that it had acquired a "splitlevel" appearance, with a drop of several metres at the now-vanished property
boundary running south-west to north-east across the site. There was thought to have
been scope for the possible survival of medieval foundations, and also the Cathedral

THE EXETER ROYAL ACADEMY FOR DEAF EDUCATION SITE, TOPSHAM
ROAD, EXETER
Archaeological Assessment of The Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education Site,
Topsham Road, Exeter
Passmore, A J Exeter : Exeter Archaeology, 2009, 21pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs
Assessment of the site found that there was potential for late prehistoric activity, as
well as Roman occupation, on the site, although evidence for such activity had not
been identified in the near vicinity of the site. Topsham Road, which bisected the site,
followed the Roman road from Exeter to Topsham. The ERADE site was situated
within the grounds of the former Mount Radford House, a building fortified during
the Civil War. There was potential for defences around the building [and presumably
also Topsham Road, which it probably defended] to survive, particularly in the
playing field site, and to a lesser extent south of Topsham Road in the ERADE visitor
car park. The site was undeveloped until the early 19th century when buildings,
including the "Deaf and Dumb Institution" were constructed on the college site. The
only pre-World War II building on the site was the swimming pool, although lengths
of property boundaries of 19th and early 20th century date survived. Undisturbed
ground [with the potential for archaeological deposits to survive] was present in the
playing field site, particularly at the north-east end. The extent of levelling towards
Topsham Road to create the level playing field was unknown. Undisturbed ground
was also present in places throughout the college site, particularly along the southern
boundary. Large areas of the site had been raised up, either for playing fields or
buildings, with potential for undisturbed ground to survive under later deposits. As the
recent investigations at St. Loye’s Foundation site had demonstrated, buried
archaeological deposits could survive in the grounds of 19th and 20th century
educational establishments. There was potential for further investigation through
geophysical survey in the playing fields site, and along the southern boundary of the
college site. These areas were also suitable for evaluation excavation along with the
hardstandings around the college buildings. [Au(abr)]

Archaeological Assessment of Middledown, Chivelstone, South Devon
Collings, T Exeter : Exeter Archaeology, 2009, 12pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs
While it was not possible to establish a date for the construction of Middledown, a
date of around 1939 was a strong possibility. Buildings (1930's) were not usually
considered worthy of preservation nor even of recording prior to removal. However,
the site may have some slight archaeological potential in that it contained hedgerows
that were certainly present in 1842 and may well have dated from several centuries
before that. Hedgerows did have the potential to preserve material that could provide
information on the ground surface when originally built. Even where they had been
removed, there could still be sub-surface archaeology since the typical Devon bank
was normally built up from the adjoining soil, leaving ditches alongside. Over time
natural processes would lead to these becoming infilled and there was a slight
possibility that among the infill would be datable substances such as pottery or
organic material. Therefore should any work be intended involving hedgerow removal
or foundation or service trenches being dug along the course of a former hedgerow it
was advisable for the work to be monitored by an archaeologist. [Au(abr)]

There were no previously recorded archaeological remains on the site itself, although
its northern boundary was part of a scheduled medieval deer park complex. In the
field immediately to the north of the site a prehistoric flint scatter was recorded, while
to the south and east are Dartington Hall and Gardens. A manor is recorded there as
early as the 9th century AD, but the main house was originally built in the 14th
century. Much of the complex now only survives as below ground remains, and these
are also a scheduled monument. The present house is a Grade I listed building, while
the surrounding park and garden is Grade II*. The site itself was a single agricultural
field to the west of the house. It contained a prominent ridge toward the centre of the
field. This topography is generally considered favourable for ancient settlement or for
the siting of prehistoric funerary monuments. The proposed development would not
have any impact upon any previously recorded or newly identified sites but, based on
the high archaeological potential of the general area, there is a possibility that hitherto
unrecorded remains could be affected by the proposed excavation of graves, tree
planting etc. The impact on the setting of the various nearby statutorily protected
heritage resources would also need to be considered. [Au(abr)]

This report described an assessment and survey of all archaeological features, visible

survey provided information on the form and location of archaeological remains to aid
land management and supplement the Scheduled Monument descriptions.
Documentary research and the air photo survey suggested a number of phases of land
division at Soar. Publications and research provided a good synthesis of the World
War II military activity associated with RAF Bolt Head, the Hope Cove Ground
Control Interceptor [GCI] radar station and subsequent Cold War Rotor site. The
1940s and 1950s air photographs provided an invaluable pictorial record to
supplement the record of the wartime structures associated with the important recent
history of the area. The transcription also provided an accurate plan of the palimpsest
of 20th century military structures, most of which had been demolished or removed. It
was beyond the remit of this study to carry out detailed documentary research and
ground based analysis. This report contained recommendations for further research
and suggestions for future land management. It was recommended that the area
should be kept free of damaging vegetation, especially bracken and gorse, for the
conservation of the archaeological sites and to enable visual interpretation for visitors

There were no previously recorded archaeological remains on the site itself, although
it was located in a general area where there was known evidence for prehistoric
settlement, religious and agricultural activity. The fields where the new building was
proposed appeared to be part of a medieval arrangement of fields, perhaps relating to
the nearby scheduled former settlements of this date at Blackaton to the east and
Challacombe to the north. The curving southwest boundary to the site formed part of
a series of existing and now removed boundaries to the south, the arrangement of
these possibly forming an enclosure, which if confirmed, would probably predate the
establishment of the still existing medieval field pattern. A now removed linear
former field boundary was also visible as an earthwork within the site, which was
removed prior to 1844. The proposed development would not have any impact upon
and previously recorded or newly identified sites, but based on the high
archaeological potential of the general area, there was a possibility that hitherto
unrecorded remains could be affected by groundworks associated with construction.

No specific sites of known archaeological interest were identified within the footprint
or immediate area of the orientation building or the associated sewage treatment

has demonstrated, early [i.e. pre-medieval] sites remained to be discovered in the
Tamar valley, and the relatively flat ground above the floodplain to the west of
Morwellham Quay could have been settled or occupied in earlier periods. The
excavation of the service trench between the treatment plant and the soakaway would
cut through an historic field boundary, but this may have provided an opportunity to
investigate and date the boundary. Within the area of the new toilet block and
associated sewage plant, the site of a building, probably of late 18th century date, was

Hind, J Oxford : Oxford Archaeology, 2009, 33pp, figs, tabs, refs
This desk-based assessment indicated that the area of proposed development had a
low potential to contain archaeological remains from the prehistoric period, but some
potential for material dating to the Roman period. Northleach was founded before
1100 and the original settlement was believed to have been centred on the church,
adjacent to the area of proposed development. It was possible that some evidence for
the earliest occupation may survive within it. From the medieval period onwards the
area of proposed development was part of the manor farm and had been occupied by a
series of barns, stables and other farm buildings. Remains of these may survive,
particularly in areas where the historic maps show there has been fairly recent
demolition. This low level of development would suggest that any belowground
archaeology should survive well. The existing buildings, many of which dated to at
least the early 19th century, would be incorporated into the proposed development.
The extent of new building was small and the impact on below-ground archaeology
would be limited in area, although new foundations would damage or destroy any
remains. [Au(abr)]

It was proposed that the existing road bridge over the east tributary of the River Churn
at Siddington be replaced with a new structure and the existing channel realigned. It
was proposed that the existing river course was filled with material excavated from
the new channel. The existing weir on the river channel would be abandoned.
Evidence indicated very limited potential for the survival of buried archaeological
remains within the proposed scheme area. Some potential lay in the presence of
further features relating to management of the historic water meadows. There was
also the possibility of evidence of previous bridge constructions. The potential for the
survival of features relating to a mill structure was unknown. The impact of the
scheme should be mitigated by a programme of archaeological fieldwork, comprising,
measured archaeological recording of the bridge and associated features in advance of
its removal and a watching brief during the removal of the existing bridge and cutting

Uley Long Barrow was a transepted terminal chamber long barrow of the CotswoldSevern group. Assessment in advance of proposals to repair the site suggested that the
barrow mound had experienced almost complete removal of early material down to at
least the level at which the dry stone walling around the cairn appeared. The
orthostats of the two rear chambers were considered to have been in their original
positions, while the surrounding dry stone walls and capstones had experienced
significant disturbance. It was possible that the area below the floor may have
remained undisturbed, and there may have been the potential for the survival of the
Neolithic pre-barrow ground surface. Any excavations within the mound and
chambers may have revealed Neolithic material redeposited during earlier
investigations. [Au(abr)]

There were archaeological features surviving in the landscape and known from the

indicated further buried archaeological remains may have survived as buried deposits.
Within the site it was likely that, if present, buried archaeological remains could relate
to any prehistoric, Roman and later deposits contained within the alluvial and peat
deposits of the Severn Levels. The site was completely contained within the highway
boundary where any archaeological features or deposits beyond the deeper the alluvial
and peat sequences, were likely to have been severely damaged, truncated or
destroyed by the construction of the motorway, any buried archaeological remains
which might be disturbed by this proposed development were assessed as likely to be

Archaeological and historical information suggested that the site and study area
formed part of the open fieldscape around Almondsbury throughout the Saxon and
medieval periods. There was no evidence recorded to indicate the nature of human
activity before the late Saxon period. There were no Scheduled Monuments or Listed
Buildings within the Study Area. The nearest statutory designations were represented
by two Grade II Listed Buildings in Almondsbury itself. The proposed works would
have no effect on the setting of these structures. The historic landscape of this site and
study area was formed by a combination of highway at the site, industrial and
residential estates to the south and enclosed former open fields to the north. Proposed
works would be conducted in and around the existing highway boundary and thus
would have no effect on the historic landscape character of the area. The M5 in the
area of the site was formed by an embankment. Construction of the motorway was
likely to have destroyed any existing archaeological deposits. The development of the
highway police depot situated immediately north of the site was also likely to have
contributed in removing/damaging the archaeological resource. It was therefore
considered that the proposed works were very unlikely to impact upon any buried
archaeological features or deposits. [Au(abr)]

Collings A G, Goodwin N, & Turton S D Exeter : Exeter Archaeology, 2009,
Although a number of archaeological sites were identified nearby, in particular to the
south of the site, there was little likelihood of any significant below-ground remains
surviving, mainly due to past quarrying activities and clearances. The quarrying
appeared to have extended into the site area itself, albeit at a reduced level. The
military road associated with the late 18th century redoubt passed through the site. It
was unlikely to have survived later 19th century quarrying activities and 20th century
regeneration and clearance works. There was a slight possibility of fissures containing
prehistoric material remaining within the limestone in the immediate site area, but no
such features or remains were known to exist. The 19th century East Street plots were
located largely within areas of recent industrial units and buried remains were
unlikely to survive. The brick wall in the north-east corner of the site broadly
reflected a much older boundary alignment [of at least 18th century date], which also
marked the limit of the military land. It was possible that this may have overlain an
earlier structural feature such as a stone wall. The construction methods for the
proposed hostel were not yet known, however, based on present knowledge, there
were no constraints to development as a result of archaeological issues and it was
unlikely that any significant archaeological mitigation would be required. [Au(abr)]

A desk-based assessment of land at Haygrove Farm was carried out. The objective of
the assessment was to identify the nature and extent of the cultural heritage resource
within both the site and its immediate environs. A baseline survey had identified low
potential for currently unrecorded prehistoric or Roman finds or features within the
site. Medieval settlement in the vicinity of the site appeared to have been focused to
the north-east at Haygrove Farm. There was no direct evidence for medieval
settlement within the site but the 18th and 19th century cartographic sources indicated
that by the later post-medieval period scattered settlement had been established across
the site. The buildings were demolished in the 19th and 20th centuries and extant
remains had been removed. However, there was potential for below ground remains to
survive within the site. Any such remains were likely to be of low (local) value.
Hedgerows with statutory protection under the Hedgerow Regulations 1997 (criteria
for archaeology and history), or which may have been considered to be of some
cultural heritage interest by the local authority as they predated 1845, were identified
within the site. These hedgerows were considered to be of low (local) value. There
was some potential for below ground remains of post-medieval/modern ridge and
furrow earthworks to be present in the eastern area of the site. Any such remains were
likely to have been of negligible value. [Au(abr)]

A desk-based assessment was carried out of the Marine Offloading Facility for the
Proposed Hinkley Point Power Station, as well as alternative design options under

possible Marine Off-Loading Facility to be used during the construction of Hinkley
Point "C", as well as other potential construction options. It was also intended to
inform the planning process, as part of a wider programme of consultation. The study
area used during this assessment comprised four areas of land in the vicinity of the
proposed new power station, comprising the offshore area north of the existing power
station, the area east of this at Stolford, Combwich Port, and the road linking
Combwich Port and the power station. Hinkley Point itself was characterised by a
rock-cut platform of mudstone and limestone, laid down during the Lower Lias of the
Jurassic period. A number of archaeological sites, including Second World War
defensive features, were recorded on the cliff line above the beach, but there was little
potential for archaeological remains in the offshore area. Immediately to the east of
Hinkley Point at Stolford the geology changes and the area is characterised by banded
layers of alluvium and peat. Exposed timbers of Mesolithic and Neolithic date have
been eroded and exposed from these deposits, observable on the foreshore. This area
was known as the Stolford Submarine Forest. Combwich Port, on the River Parrett,
was a Roman and medieval port and was also situated on deposits of alluvium and
peat. Nearby archaeological investigations and geotechnical works indicated that the
current port area was situated on thick alluvium, although construction of the port
may have impacted to depths of up to around 3m below current ground levels in
places. The road linking Combwich and Hinkley Point was also assessed, and a single

LAND AT HOLLYWOOD PARK, ALMONDSBURY
Land at Hollywood Park Almondsbury, South Gloucestershire. Archaeological
refs
The topographic situation of the central part of site suggested that there may be
potential for evidence of Prehistoric and Roman settlement in this area, although no
evidence for such settlement had yet been identified. Neolithic activity and Roman
settlement had been identified at the far north-west corner of the study area and Iron
Age settlement in the southeast corner but there was no evidence to suggest related
activity encroached into the site. Examination of LIDAR data provided information
on the topography of the site, including areas currently obscured by vegetation, but
this did not identify any potential prehistoric or Roman sites. The line of a putative
Roman road crossed the site. An earthwork had been recorded within the site and
postulated as the agger (embankment) of this road. The line of another Roman road
may have run along the south-eastern edge of the site, and it was possible that
associated contemporary activity may have been present in areas adjacent to these
possible routes. Medieval settlement within the study area appeared to have been
focused to the north around All Saints’ Church, although the possible sites of a
medieval toft and a medieval tenement with post-medieval cottage were identified
within the site. No associated extant features were visible during the site visit in these
locations. Examination of aerial photographs did not identify any potential associated
features but examination of the LIDAR data showed a rectangular depression at the
northern edge of site in the vicinity of the putative medieval tenement. This may have
been associated with a post-medieval cottage recorded on the site. Post-medieval
settlement was present at Manor Farm, immediately to the west of site. Two cottages
within the site adjacent to this area where first shown on 19th century cartographic
sources and earlier settlement may have been present in this area. Early 19th-century
Romantic parkland is situated in the south-western part of the study area, centred on
Hollywood House. Early 20th-century modifications included alterations to the
gardens and the construction of a model farm. In the 1920s the estate was enlarged to
its current size but the parkland remained confined to the south-western area of site.
There was potential for the below-ground remains of structures and features shown on
19th and early 20th-century cartographic sources to survive in the vicinity of
Hollywood House, including glasshouses in the walled garden, an aviary, an early
20th-century tennis court and a rose garden. The potential for previously unrecorded
below-ground remains of park features was considered to be low. The site included
the 19th-century Grade II Listed structures Hollywood House and attached buildings,
the Tower and Entrance Way. The Grade II* Listed buildings All Saints’ Church and
Bishop’s Farmhouse, and the Grade II Listed building Manor Farm, were visible from
the northern area of site. The setting of these buildings should be considered in the
redevelopment of the site. The archaeological potential of the site will further be
assessed by geophysical survey and the excavation of trial trenches. [Au(abr)]

Work undertaken by: Absolute Archaeology
Documentary and archaeological resources indicated that the development site had a
moderate-high archaeological potential. Cartographic data clearly recorded the
location of two large rectangular buildings on the site in the early 19th century, the
date and nature of which could not be determined from the documentary resources
alone. The site was located within the early medieval settlement of Charfield, adjacent
to the 13th century church of St. . James. Therefore, the potential for medieval
archaeology, including buried human remains, was considered a possibility. The site
was located c. 700m east of a Romano-British road and as such the potential for
Romano-British remains was considered. No confirmed evidence for prehistoric
(Palaeolithic-Iron Age) activity was noted within the study area. In order to further
assess the archaeology, it was recommended that an archaeological evaluation was
carried out on the development site prior to the commencement of groundworks.

Longman, T Bristol : Bristol & Region Archaeological Services, 2009, 30pp, pls,
A desk-based assessment was carried out on land most recently occupied in part by a
garden centre and by a long, narrow open field, south of Broad Lane. A low post-andbarbed-wire fence separated the two, which were part of a field known as "Goosy
Riding". Documentary and cartographic evidence suggested that the land had
probably always been farmed for arable and pasture up to the 1980’s, when Goose
Green Way (B4059) was built across the southern half of the former field. A trawl of
the South Gloucestershire Council Historic Environment Record showed no recorded
archaeological sites within the study area, however, the site of a 19th century coal
mine lay on the north side of Broad Lane and cartographic evidence showed the
presence of coal measures and underground workings beneath the study area. A
search of the air-photograph collection revealed few features of potential
archaeological interest within the study area. A subsequent walk-over survey
appeared to confirm the apparent absence of any surface features. [Au(abr)]

Archaeological work to the north and south of the site provided some detail on the

Bronze Age date, and a possible late Iron Age/Early Romano-British ground level.
Due to the former estuarine environ, these deposits occur at depth, sealed by alluvium.

Western Approaches, Bristol. Archaeological Desk-based Assessment
Bryant, A & Armstrong, A Salisbury : Wessex Archaeology, 2005, 33pp, colour
There was a moderate potential for remains of later Iron Age or Roman date to exist
within the site. Excavations elsewhere within the Henbury Level established that
during this time the area was being used for small-scale, possibly seasonal settlement
associated with the grazing of animals. Structural evidence and a number of recorded
field systems and findspots of pottery and flint indicated a presence of later Iron Age
and Roman occupation within the Level at a time when seasonally the land would
have been fairly well drained. The organised drainage of the Level probably began
during the Saxon period, although the extent and location of settlement activity within
the Level during this period was unclear. It was more likely that small-scale
farmsteads became established from the 13th-16th centuries as the reclamation and
farming of the Henbury Level reached its peak. The site was located close to the small
hamlet of Ellinghurst which was documented from the mid 16th century and could
have had its origins in the later medieval period. Overall there was a low to moderate
potential for buried remains associated with medieval or post-medieval settlement and
agrarian activity within the site. [Au(abr)]

There were no statutorily protected sites within or immediately adjacent to the
proposed development area. There were two previously recorded archaeological
remains on the site itself; remnants of a formerly more extensive medieval field
system identified from cartographic sources and a small prospecting clay quarry pit.
Another probable small clay pit was identified during a site inspection. The site itself
was currently under rough pasture and scrub with only two internal hedgebanks
surviving. A hedgebank was present alongside a sunken lane [Kingskerswell Road]
which was also probably of medieval origin. Two nearby field names contained the
“crock” element, which might have indicated early [medieval/post-medieval]
manufacture of pottery or other ceramics. There was some indication of prehistoric
activity in the area and it was possible that the topographical setting of the site meant
that the presence of prehistoric occupation, funerary remains or cultivation was a
possibility. Any proposed development would be likely to have some impact upon the
identified surface features, as well as any unrecorded buried archaeological remains
which might have been present. There would not be any impact on the setting of the

Centre, Grange Road, Goodrington, Paignton
Manning, P Exeter : Exeter Archaeology, 2009, 18pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs
The proposed development site lay within Goodrington, a settlement of probable
Saxon origin. Early maps suggested that the focus of the medieval village lay to the
east of Grange road, but there may have been peripheral activity in the area and a
farm had probably existed here since the post-medieval period or earlier. Prior to the
establishment of the holiday centre the site was farm land, with associated buildings.
The main field had been an orchard probably since before 1800, and it was likely that
some of the buildings, which were probably also present before 1800, were associated
with cider production and storage. The southern edge of the site was part of a pasture
field, which appears to have remained undeveloped. Sites of buildings and other
features identified within the development area included the house, main farm ranges
and ancillary buildings in the northern part of the site, an early building in the western
part of the site, and two later buildings associated with a quarry, to the south. A field
boundary in the southern part of the site may have been of early origin. The surviving
early buildings on the site consisted of a farm building dating from between 1865 and
1906 and possible remains of two buildings present by 1840. The sites of the later
buildings and quarry may have been truncated or removed by terracing. [Au(abr)]

An assessment found little evidence for prehistoric or Roman activity within the site

the northern extent of the site within the confines of the medieval town. The medieval
town wall crossed the site approximately at the same location as the current line of
New Union and Warwick Road. A number of Listed and locally Listed buildings
could be impacted by the development. Both the Grade II Listed Coventry Station and
the locally Listed Rocket public house lay within the site. The station should be

The farm was known to have existed from the 1780s, although there was cartographic
evidence that a house may have occupied the site in 1775 and circumstantial evidence
for a house as early as the 1580s. The house comprised a three storey, three bay brick
building with sash windows and a shallow hipped roof. It overlooked a garden with
trees, an oval pond enclosed by a wide sweeping drive off Old Fallings Lane. The
farmyard buildings lay toward the north, while discrete paddocks, an orchard and a
possible formal garden occupied the southeast side. The farm was owned and
occupied by the Phillips family through the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1925 the then
owners, Low Hill Bushbury Estate Company Ltd, sold it to Wolverhampton
Corporation, who built the schools buildings to the north-east between 1930-3, and
leased the house to the TOC H charitable organisation. The farm was finally
demolished in 1948 and the land subsumed within the school. The geophysical survey
identified extant buried deposits associated with the house, the eastern portion of the
farmyard and the drive. The other elements of the farm may have been largely
removed during demolition and subsequent landscaping. Also a large number of
irregular anomalies which could not be ascribed to known farm buildings, nor
assigned a date were discovered. The below ground archaeological potential of the
site was somewhat indeterminate. It was recommended that further evaluation be
undertaken with trial trenches excavated across the anomalies and a sample of
apparently blank areas along with monitoring of any proposed geotechnical
investigations. The original school buildings along the north-east side of the site were
typical of 1930s public building style and were integral to the surrounding housing
estate which was planned and developed in the later 1920s and early 1930s. They
therefore had group value as part of this sub-urban landscape. A recurring circular
glazing bar motif design in the windows was unusual and potentially unique. It was
therefore recommended that recording by undertaken of these buildings prior to
alteration or demolition. [Au(adp)]

Geoarchaeology formed the backbone of many modern archaeological projects or
provided additional specialist information where stratigraphic issues may arise during
excavation. It involved the study of a wide range of deposits from Aeolian silt to
anthropogenic wastes, and utilised information from a number of specialist
methodologies including various forms of soil analysis, sedimentology, and chemical
survey. The activities carried out may be diverse and the significance of the results
may be apparent at a range of scales. Only some areas of the geoarchaeological
spectrum were suitable for regional synthesis, particularly where site-specific
processes being studied had some form of regional significance or control. These
could be natural or anthropogenic processes, and may be interactions of the two. This
review concentrated on these regionally significant aspects of geoarchaeology,
providing a review of major work already carried out, and pointers to future priorities.

The Worcestershire Historic Towns Survey The Story of Broadway
Worcestershire County Council
Worcester : Worcestershire County Council,
Work undertaken by: Worcestershire County Council
Broadway became important in the medieval period, and continued to be a significant
town in the post-medieval period. After a difficult time in the 16th century the town
became prosperous again in the 17th and 18th centuries. There was little
archaeological evidence for settlement in the Broadway area in the prehistoric and
Roman period. An estate at Broadway was owned by Pershore Abbey in the 10th
century. The Domesday Book records a priest, so there was probably a church by that
time. Broadway was as a medieval new town created by the Abbey of Pershore either
in the late 12th century or mid-13th century. Broadway was thriving in the late 13th
century, but seems to have declined in the early 14th century. The town was owned by
Pershore Abbey until the abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Broadway
seems to have been prosperous in the 17th and 18th centuries even though it was no
longer formally classed as a town. As in other Cotswold towns, wealth was based on
the wool and cloth trade. After the turnpike roads were built in the 17th century,
Broadway became an important stop on coaching routes. [Au(abr)]

development. It was also significant in that, as New Wood Street, it had been given as

Dennison, E Beverley : Ed Dennison Archaeological Services Ltd., 2009, 45pp,
Work undertaken by: Ed Dennison Archaeological Services Ltd.
The proposed new drainage works lay within the scheduled west end of the former
Minster choir, which was originally built in c.1267-72 but which was replaced by the
present ruined structure in c.1310-40. There are currently 33 marked burial plots in
the choir, mostly of 19th and 20th century date, although a few are more recent. There
are an unknown number of other burials that were not visible or marked with stones,
including perhaps that of John of Howden who was buried in the choir in 1272. The
new drainage works were likely to have some archaeological implications, although
some of the proposed trenches would be relatively shallow. Nevertheless, some of the
trenches had the potential to disturb a number of known and unmarked burials, as well
as structural remains associated with the Minster choir and even perhaps the earlier
Saxon and Norman church. A series of archaeological recommendations for
mitigation were proposed. Initially, a detailed survey of the west end of the choir,
followed by the hand excavation of two archaeological test pits along the lines of the
proposed drainage runs. Depending on the results of this work, it may be sufficient to
carry out an archaeological watching brief during the subsequent drainage works.
Alternatively, if significant archaeological deposits were uncovered, it may be
necessary to archaeologically excavate all or some of the proposed drainage
alignments. [Au(abr)]

Work undertaken by: Ed Dennison Archaeological Services Ltd.
A total of 31 archaeological sites were identified within the study area. These dated
from the medieval to the modern periods, and included a medieval moated complex (a
Scheduled Monument), traces of medieval ridge and furrow, 18th and 19th century
agricultural landscape features, a former 19th century racecourse and 20th century
airfield, and several Second World War air defence structures. Only two identified
sites and parts of four other sites extended into the proposed park and ride
development site. None of these sites were considered to be sufficiently important to
justify their permanent preservation in situ, although it was appropriate for them to
remain undisturbed if they lie outside the development footprint. However, it was
deemed important that sites affected by development were recorded prior to and
during construction. [Au(abr)]

The site had no known archaeological features and although a small building was
known from map data, no trace survived and its location was under the modern
footpath and road. The southern edge of the site appeared to have been the northern
edge of Darton Quarry in the mid 19th century, although no quarrying was recorded
within the development area. The construction of council offices in the 1930s
removed the soil and bedrock on the northern half of the site. A house at the rear of
the offices was built on a levelled area at the same time. The actions removed any
potential archaeology in over half of the site. The potential for surviving

The proposed development area (PDA) contained a number of historical standing
buildings and some historically demolished. As part of the assessment two historically
demolished farmsteads, east of Highfield Farm, were identified within the PDA.
Highfield Farm probably dated to at least the late 17th/ early 18th century. The
demolished buildings, in particular "Old Hall Farm", did appear to be earlier, from the
at least the 17th century, and the site still remained of importance. Nine buildings
within the PDA were standing in 1773 and of these three still survived but six were
historically demolished. No previous archaeological work had taken place within the
village of West Melton, and its archaeological potential had never been investigated.
There was an unknown potential for further unknown archaeology within the PDA.

The route and corridor of the A1(M) would not change due to the proposed changes,
only the depth of the cut to be made. The archaeology affected was only that under
the direct line of the original cut. The route was dividing a landscape which had been

CROWLE MARKET PLACE

Clay, C
A desk-based assessment was carried out to assess the archaeological potential of land
in and around Crowle Market Place, in advance of proposed redevelopment. There
was evidence of prehistoric and Roman activity in the study area and in the wider
parish, although this material was almost exclusively from fieldwalking surveys and
offered little interpretive potential. Documentary evidence indicated the development
of a settlement in Crowle before the Norman Conquest. After 1066, the manor of
Crowle was acquired by Selby Abbey who developed the town as a planned
settlement centred on the High Street and the existing market place. The town
flourished throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods, as a result of the
abundant agricultural produce of the parish, as well as the right to hold a market and
two fairs in the town. The parish was enclosed in 1822, resulting in further
agricultural productivity and population expansion. There were numerous postmedieval and early modern buildings of architectural interest close to the site,
although these would not be affected by the development proposals. Two 19th century
structures within the site that were proposed for demolition were considered to be of
limited architectural interest. Overall, the development area had a moderate
archaeological potential, and was of local significance. The greatest potential was for
activity of medieval to post-medieval date. [Au(abr)]

The assessment found that with the exception of the truncated remains of medieval
ridge and furrow cultivation, there was no evidence for recorded archaeological
remains within either of the site options. The area of the northern option had been
heavily disturbed by previous pipeline developments, and therefore no further work
here was recommended. The extent of the disturbance in the eastern option was
unclear, and it was considered that conditions here may have been conducive to the
survival of previously unrecorded prehistoric or Roman remains. A watching brief
was recommended if works were to be carried out in this part of the site. [Au(adp)]

A desk-based assessment was undertaken on land to the north-east of Skipton Castle,
established in the 11th century, with an associated settlement and market development
along the High Street, to the south of the Castle, from the 13th century onwards. The
town and castle were besieged for three years during the Civil War and the Scheduled
remains of a battery lay to the north-west of the site. Limestone extraction was
undertaken in the north of the town from the mid 18th century onwards and a
tramway appeared to have ran through the proposed development site between Haw
Bank Quarry and the terminus of Thanet’s Canal from 1794 to 1835. Earthworks
likely relating to this feature were identified within the proposed development site.

An Archaeological Desk-based Assessment for Land at Newsham Farm Hall,
Newsham, North Yorkshire
Hunt, L
The proposed development site lay in an area that had been largely undeveloped and
had undergone little or no archaeological investigation, so the potential of the site was
unattested. On the information available, there was thought to be a low potential for
medieval and post-medieval periods, and a low to moderate potential for remains of
the prehistoric and Roman periods, due partly to the proximity of a Roman road and a
degree of activity from the prehistoric and Roman periods within the general area.

the site was occupied by a terrace of seven three-storey houses. Prior to the 18th
century, the site lay essentially within the confines of Kirk Dyke, a water course that
crossed the town the north of Selby Abbey from Selby Dam to the River Ouse. Four
geotechnical pits were also monitored. A large culvert and drain were recorded
running along the eastern boundary of the site outside the footprint of the proposed

A desk-based assessment and walkover survey of English Martyrs Primary School
was undertaken to examine the potential for preserved archaeological remains within
the school grounds. There were no known features within the site boundary; however,
a review of the Historic Environment Record showed that an aerial photograph of the
area may show the presence of a feature within the site boundary, suggesting that
there was limited possibility of the discovery of previously unrecorded archaeology
within the site. This would probably be in the form of relict field boundaries or other
landscape features, possibly of Iron Age or Roman date. Discussions with the City
Archaeologist suggested that the area may contain the remains of Roman and
prehistoric field systems, with an associated villa site having been located in the
vicinity. A number of stone cist burials also exist within 500m of the site.
Furthermore, there was the potential for the preservation of palaeoenvironmental

The project was undertaken during April and May 2009 and involved two initial
phases of work. The first of these required the monitoring the concrete slab removal
from across the site. This was followed by a second phase during which three trial
trenches were opened. The evaluation did not encounter any evidence of pre-19th
century activity on site, despite excavating down to natural subsoil in Trenches 1 and
3. Some fragmentary 19th century remains were found in Trenches 1and 2, but
Trench 3 revealed significant evidence of a 19th century dye house, known as the
Nuns’ Street Works. The discovery of these remains necessitated a further, third phase
of investigation which would uncover the footprint of the dye house. Removal of
overburden revealed that much of the dye house survived in plan, although the northeastern end of the works had been lost to modern disturbance and, as a result,
excavations were not continued into this area. Work spaces and substantial brick
flues/machine bases relating to the dye works were identified, although the precise

figs, refs
Nine small test pits were excavated within the churchyard, adjacent to a metalled
footpath to the north, west and south of the church. Articulated human remains were
identified within one test pit. However, these were at the very base of the excavation.
A construction of unbonded limestone blocks was identified to the south of the
church. It was unclear if this was a wall footing or the foundation of a churchyard
monument. Apart from a concentration of rubble, the other test pits provided
unremarkable results, although a significant amount of disarticulated human bone was
identified. [Au(abr)]

magnetic disturbance. With the exception of a series of furrows, relating to former
post-medieval ridge and furrow strip cultivation, no other features revealed appeared
to relate to anomalies on the geophysical survey. Archaeological features were
revealed in one trench and comprised two small inter-cutting pit-like features, one of
which contained a quernstone fragment of possible prehistoric date. A small quantity
of other artefacts, including struck flint, was recovered from two of the trenches.

Twenty trenches evaluation were excavated. In Trench 26, to the east, there was an
isolated urned cremation burial which has been radiocarbon dated to the Early/Middle
Bronze Age. Archaeological features, dating to the Late Iron Age/Early Roman
period, were concentrated within a group of fourteen trenches in the northern part of
the area. Pottery suggested that occupation perhaps began in the mid 1st century AD
and continued through the 2nd century. Although there was some later pottery it was
not found in very large quantities, perhaps suggesting that there was a decline of
activity after the late 2nd century. The settlement comprised a complex of intercutting
enclosure/boundary ditches and related features, probably a small rural, agricultural
settlement. Although the geophysical survey had indicated the presence of hearths,
kilns or other industrial remains, no such features were found. [Au(abr)]

Work undertaken by: Benchmark Archaeology
The proposed development site had been identified as an area of significant
archaeological potential. Due to this potential, a programme of exploratory trial
trenching was conducted prior to the start of development. Significant Roman
archaeological features were encountered. Features identified during trial trenching
comprised a north-south oriented inhumation and a shallow ditch/gully dating to the
1st/2nd century AD. Another shallow ditch/gully was recorded running east-west
across the site but was undated. A range of 1st-3rd century Roman pottery and a
fragment of tegula were recovered from the excavated features and generated spoil.
Earlier activity on the site was demonstrated by the recovery of two fragments of Late
Iron Age “Belgic” pottery dating from c.25 BC-AD 60. A single sherd of postmedieval pottery was also recorded. Given the nature and extent of the proposed
groundworks, it was highly likely that the proposed development would impact on the
deposits identified during the evaluation and also on any unidentified archaeologically
significant deposits present. [Au(abr)]

Sixteen evaluation trenches were excavated. Archaeological features were
concentrated within a group of four trenches in the north-western part of the area. A
small quantity of pottery suggested that occupation began in the Middle to Late Iron
Age, perhaps the 1st century BC. Subsequently the site, which comprised a complex
of intercutting Roman settlement enclosure ditches and related features, seemed to
have been in continuous usage through the 1st century AD to the 4th century AD. The
remains probably represented a small rural, agricultural settlement, although finds
such as flue and floor tile and a possible fragment of window glass may indicate the
presence of a substantial late Roman building in the vicinity. [Au(abr)]

Work undertaken by: Headland Archaeology Ltd.
An evaluation was undertaken at Palmer Hollow Wind Farm for the erection of eight
new wind turbines. The site was deemed to be of archaeological potential as there are
numerous sites ranging from the prehistoric through to the medieval period in the
surrounding area. Upstanding elements of possible medieval cultivation practices
were also preserved just outside the boundaries of the site in the form of areas of ridge
and furrow at Debdale. A total of 48 trenches were excavated across the site. Areas of
heavily plough damaged ridge and furrow were encountered across the site. A former
field boundary was also revealed.Two further possible field boundaries were revealed
in Trenches 46 and 47 and a possible shallow pit in Trench 3. These may relate to the
enclosure and improvement of the previously open fields from the 18th century
onwards. No further archaeological features or deposits were identified during the
course of works which was thought to represent a genuine absence of below ground
features within the excavated areas, rather than their destruction by outside influences.

The evaluation identified shallow medieval features including two possible pits [one
perhaps dating to the earlier Saxo-Norman period], a curving ditch and a meandering
linear ditch or gully. These remains were overlain by alluvial flood deposits dating
from the 13th to 16th centuries. Post-medieval remains related to the former building
that occupied the site were identified, as was a rectangular feature of modern date. A
large quantity of medieval pottery, mostly Toynton types perhaps manufactured in
Boston, was recovered, as well as some earlier Saxo-Norman pottery. [Au(adp)]

The proposed development site lay in an area of some archaeological interest.
Prehistoric activity in the surrounding landscape was indicated by several circular
cropmarks [ring ditches], including one that was c.40m to the south-east of the site.
Further prehistoric cropmark enclosures and a boundary feature were known to the
east and north of the site. Later prehistoric worked flint tools and associated debitage
had been recovered to the north-west of the site during gas pipeline operations. Three
trenches were excavated in order to assess the archaeological potential of the
proposed development area. A ditch and ditch or pit of possible prehistoric date were
encountered within Trench 3, and a post-medieval ditch in Trench 2 was found to run
parallel with Old Main Road to the south-east of the site. A deep subsoil beneath the
topsoil, possibly windblown, was found to contain worked flints and prehistoric
pottery of possible early Bronze Age date. The fragile nature of the pottery suggested
that it had not travelled far, indicating the likelihood that further contemporary
remains would be present within the development area. [Au(abr)]

The evaluation consisted of a borehole traverse and four evaluation trenches
positioned within the footprint of a proposed building and associated work.
Accordingly the borehole traverse was designed to detect a ditch believed to flank the
base of the Lucy Tower motte and the trenches were designed to characterise belowground deposits in the proposed development area. The results of the borehole survey
suggested the original base of the Lucy Tower motte had been obscured beneath later
landscaping layers. The contours of the level of natural subsoil were also recorded and
demonstrated a deposit depth of up to 7.0m in the area of the castle car park. One of
the evaluation trenches encountered the wall of the 1820s debtors’ yard and the
western wall of the 1840s airing court and associated landscaping deposits. The
northern wall of the 1820s debtors’ yard was also encountered. In both interventions
evidence for internal refacing of the walls was found and attributed to 20th century
activity. Deposits and surfaces thought to represent the 1820s debtors’ yard and
landscaping covered with 20th century overburden were also located. In all trenches,
an assemblage of redeposited archaeological material was encountered and included
Roman and medieval ceramic and ceramic building material as well as assemblages of
17th to 20th century pottery. [Au(abr)]

The site was situated on a possible natural gravel island or ‘eyot’ within the River
Witham, and was located to the south of the Roman and medieval walled city. The
island was documented as the site of the medieval suburb of Thorngate. Three
trenches were excavated within the proposed development area. The earliest deposits
comprised natural alluvial silts and clays and a peat horizon reflecting a ground
surface rising gradually from south to north, reflecting the topography of the
postulated Thorn Island. The earliest dated material comprised small quantities of
residual Roman pottery and building material. The most significant activity exposed
represented important evidence for Anglo-Saxon settlement of late 7th to early 8th
century date, recorded in Trench 3, and represented the first firm evidence for a
settlement of this date in the city. Structural elements of this date comprised a wooden
floor, and a probable sunken-feature building. An early medieval timber structure was
also recorded in Trench 3, a wooden upright from which was dated by
dendrochronolgy to the early 12th century AD. Further medieval activity in Trench 3
comprised dumps of material, and two intercutting pits, while Trench 2 contained a
single early medieval pit and medieval soil horizons indicative of damp, periodically
flooded grassland. The stone and brick walls of a cellar were exposed in Trench 1,
representing former properties of 18th and 19th century date that occupied the site.

The site lay in an area of some archaeological potential and interest. There was
evidence of probable Roman field systems and enclosures evidenced by extensive
cropmarks throughout the wider landscape. Roman artefacts such as coins and pottery
scatters had been recovered from Gedney Hill itself. The parish church of Holy
Trinity was located close to the site, and had some 14th century elements, which
suggested that a settlement must have existed close by during the medieval period.
Three trenches were excavated in order to assess the archaeological potential of the
site. Dating evidence was retrieved from all three trenches. Trench 1 contained pottery
wasters evident of misfiring within pottery production. The location of the production
centre was unknown but may have been close to the site. A highly significant find was
located within Trench 2, a Toynton/Bolingbroke ware sherd with slipped decoration,
the first to be found in the county. Trench 3 produced evidence for the earliest activity

Saxilby : Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd., 2009,
Five trenches were excavated. The north-western part of the site was still occupied by
modern industrial buildings and the centre of the site covered with concrete hard
standing. All five of the trenches were excavated down to the top of clean alluvial
silts, with deeper sondages excavated to a maximum depth of 1.2m below the existing
ground level to more fully investigate the nature of the alluvial deposits, which were
demonstrated to be consistent throughout. In all five trenches the same depositional
sequence was recorded, with the slight exception of one of the north-eastern trenches,
which contained a layer of re-deposited material sealed by the modern topsoil. No
artefactual material was identified within this and although undated it was concluded
that this deposit probably originated as a result of disturbance caused by clearance of
the drain that formerly defined the eastern boundary of the site, or was deposited
during the early stages of construction of either the houses of Chestnut Avenue or the
industrial buildings occupying the north-western part of the site. Two sherds of
medieval pottery were recovered from the former cultivation soil within the middle of
the southern part of the site. Further archaeological intervention at the site was

material was found to be a build up of domestic rubbish in the 13th century, and due
to waterlogging, evidence of wooden structures may have survived in the field. This
activity was cut by the well-built ashlar wall that was the focus of the investigation,
and likely to be the remains of a substantial building that was in use at some time in
the 13th-15th centuries. Once the building went out of use it appeared that domestic
refuse was dumped inside the room that was partially exposed during the 15th-16th
centuries. Another building was poorly constructed on the site, probably of wood and
stone as evidenced by the presence of nails. This used part of the older structure,
which was abandoned and overlain by a soil that was later cut by a large pit, itself
later backfilled and covered by a sequence of soils. [Au(abr)]

The site lay in an area of some archaeological potential, with the Roman Car Dyke
forming the western boundary to the proposed development area. A previous
geophysical survey of the site identified some anomalies of possible archaeological
origin. Seven trenches were excavated in order to assess the archaeological potential
of the site. These exposed elements of the east bank of the Car Dyke, along with
medieval and undated remains. The earliest activity comprised undated features
sealed beneath a former soil. The formation of a cultivation soil over these features
suggested that the area was later cultivated, possibly during the prehistoric and into
the Romano-British period. This soil was then sealed and protected by the creation of
the Car Dyke eastern bank, probably at some stage during the Roman period. The
trenching also revealed a number of furrows of probable medieval cultivation, along
with a hollow way or track. The track then went out of use, and more recently the site
was used as allotments, before reverting back to agricultural land. [Au(abr)]

LAND SOUTH OF BORDERVILLE FARM, STAMFORD
An Archaeological Evaluation at land south of Borderville Farm, Stamford,
Lincolnshire
Harvey, J
An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken at land south of Borderville Farm,
Stamford. This work followed on from previous desk-based assessment and
geophysical survey that had highlighted the potential for archaeological features to be
present within the proposed application area for the relocation of Stamford AFC. The
evaluation formed part of an archaeological impact assessment of the proposed
development. Fourteen trenches were positioned to target possible features previously
identified by the geophysical survey and three trenches were located within
apparently blank areas. Positive results were obtained from thirteen of the targeted
trenches, mostly confirming the presence of archaeological features previously
suggested by geophysical anomalies. Several features were also identified which had
not been detected by the geophysical survey including two of the trenches in the blank
areas. Primarily features identified comprised pits and ditches, some of which
contained pottery dating to the Late Iron Age and early Roman periods. An articulated
human burial was also encountered in the south-east corner of the site that may have
been earlier in date and may possibly have been associated with a pit alignment. The
results suggested an elongated enclosure settlement with the main focus of activity
extending westwards beyond the extent of the application area. The excavated
sections, especially in the western part of the site, yielded domestic rubbish indicative
of activities relating to a farmstead settlement. The site was clearly multi-phased,
dating from the Late Iron Age, but it remained unclear in what form the settlement
continued into the early Roman period. [Au(abr)]

possibly slightly later in Trench 15, the site of the proposed compound. A number of
undated ditches, gullies and post holes were revealed in the locations for Turbines 7, 1

4 and 2 failed to produce any activity apart from agricultural evidence in the form of a
furrow in the location for Turbine 5. Turbine 6 was expected to have the most
archaeological potential. This was confirmed in the evaluation. Observations made
suggested the presence of a worked flint scatter to the west of the main access road
and between the locations of Turbine 6 and Turbine 1 which could be indicative of
further sub surface features beyond those areas investigated. [Au(abr)]

The desk-based assessment revealed potential for multi-period remains to be found on
the site. The discovery of possible Bronze Age and Iron Age remains nearby indicated
that further evidence of occupation may be found. Roman settlement evidence had
been recorded in the area along with possible Roman/Saxon secondary burials
surrounding a Bronze Age round barrow. The two medieval settlements of Rushton
were located c. 1km south-west of the site. Cartographic sources suggested that the
site had only been slightly damaged by small-scale farming development and its use
as combined pasture and arable land may have increased the potential of discovering
well preserved archaeological remains. The fieldwalking and metal detector survey
produced scant evidence of prehistoric activity with one struck flint flake present.
Despite the moderate potential for Iron Age, Roman and Saxon remains only one
sherd of abraded Roman pottery was present in the ploughsoil. The majority of
artefacts were from the medieval, post medieval and modern periods. They were
evenly spread across the site, and probably deposited through manuring. A slightly
higher concentration of artefacts from these periods was present south of Storefield
Lodge that may relate to rubbish pits associated with the dwelling that had been
disturbed by the plough. [Au(abr)]

The earthwork survey established the form and setting of the fishpond, although parts
of the bank were inaccessible due to dense undergrowth and trees. The auger survey
identified a sequence of deposits within the pond, although it was not possible to
determine if the base of the pond had been attained or if the auger was being
prevented from further penetration by stones or bedrock. The basal deposit at the
southwest end of the fishpond was dark grey, almost black silty clay; elsewhere it was
mid grey or bluish grey silty clay with occasional charcoal flecks. These water-lain
sediments had been deposited when the pond was in use and largely derived from
weathered material from the sides and base of the pond and sediment introduced into
the pond via the water supply. Once the pond had gone out of use it appeared to have
been deliberately drained or to have largely dried out as the topsoil and subsoil that
accumulated in the pond showed little evidence of waterlogging. [Au(abr)]

The evaluation revealed Late Saxon and medieval ditches and gullies serving a
drainage function, as well as a single post hole. These were sealed by a former topsoil
that was in turn overlain by levelling deposits for a former yard. Finds included
locally and regionally produced pottery of 10th-15th century date. No later finds were
recorded. A small collection of animal bone was also retrieved. [Au(abr)]

Evaluation
Philips, M
The results demonstrated that there was high potential for archaeological features
dating from the Saxo-Norman period onwards to survive throughout the Study Area.
Some Late Saxon and possibly Middle Saxon features may also survive. The only
feature identified as part of the castle itself was the moat, which lay beneath the
northern perimeter of the Study Area. No trace of a rampart survived, but evidence of
medieval timber buildings and settlement was found. A brick-lined well shaft was an
unexpected discovery; this was probably a well used by the 19th century Castle
Brewery. The central part of the Study Area contained deposits of dumped soil c.0.5m
thick that dated from post-1750. These deposits had low archaeological value, but
they provided evidence for the relatively recent use of the site. [Au(abr)]

A trench-based evaluation was carried out on an area of land situated in the southern
part of Cambridge between the 8th and the 13th of February 2009. Although no
evidence of prehistoric or Roman activity was encountered during this work, a more
positive result was recovered from the later periods at the site. The establishment of
an open-field system in this location by the mid 14th century demonstrated the
expanding pattern of medieval agricultural practice in the East Fields of the town, for
example, whilst the projected pattern of later suburban development in Cambridge
could also be directly corroborated. The findings of this evaluation therefore provided
confirmation of proposed historical models of land use development in the area. In
addition, the absence of an identifiable Roman presence at the site further narrowed
the corridor within which the contemporary Colchester to Godmanchester road (or
Via Devana) was likely to have been situated. [Au(abr)]

The investigation demonstrated that the proposed development site lay on March
Gravels at the edge of March “island”, with degraded peat deposits, probably
Nordelph Peat, occurring along its western edge. The peat overlay a layer of gleyed
silt that may be the remnants of the former land surface prior to the onset of peat
accumulation. An extensive network of silt-filled channels [roddons] had been
mapped on the fenland to the west of the site. On the higher ground, at the edge of
March "island", there was an extensive pattern of ridge and furrow, dating to the
medieval and post-medieval periods. Undated cropmarks lay to the north of the site.

An archaeological evaluation was carried out prior to residential development. The
evaluation was required as the proposed development lay in an archaeologically
sensitive area within the historic town of March, close to the Fen edge, on the western
edge of March island. Several prehistoric and Roman settlement sites had been
recorded in the surrounding area. The evaluation revealed evidence of extensive early
20th century strip quarrying for gravel which was probably used on local roads. A
modern field boundary may have been the western limit of this undertaking. Finds
comprised mainly pottery and ceramic building material of post-medieval and modern

The evaluation discovered a significant prehistoric landscape. An important
assemblage of finds from a buried soil horizon in the west of the site represented
activity dating from the Late Mesolithic to the Early Bronze Age periods, peaking in
the Beaker period. In addition, two wooden stakes/posts were dated to the Late
Neolithic and Beaker periods. Of greatest significance was the discovery of a
previously unknown round barrow, along with potentially associated ditches,
including a possible bank. Associated finds included Beaker pottery and human
remains. The evaluation results indicated that an important prehistoric landscape was
preserved beneath layers of peat and alluvial deposits at King's Delph. Furthermore,
conditions encountered during the excavation suggested preservation, particularly of
organic remains, was likely to be good, where present. [Au(abr)]

There was potential for archaeological remains in the area with prehistoric, Roman,
Saxon, and medieval activity to the north-east and south-west. During the Roman
period, the small town of Durovigutum (Godmanchester) developed on the south side
of the River Ouse. To the north of the river there was only limited settlement. AngloSaxon Huntingdon was a trading port and market town which developed into a
prosperous large town in the medieval period. Sixteen churches, one priory and a
leper hospital demonstrated its size and population. The medieval settlement of
Huntingdon appeared to focus around the High Street. Early post-medieval
Huntingdon saw a decline, and then revival, resulting in a wealth of building and
rebuilding in the 18th century. A large gravel quarry pit dominating the south-west
end of the site yielded earlier Palaeolithic artefacts. In the event the evaluation
revealed a large sewer trench which traversed the north-western end of the site on a
north-east/south-west alignment. The extent of an infilled quarry was recorded. The
only other features present at the site were of natural origin. Trench 1 contained two
tree hollows, and another tree hollow was present in Trench 5. [Au(abr)]

An evaluation of a site on the north edge of Ramsey, next to the High Lode was
carried out to determine the presence or absence of archaeological material. The site
was characterised by naturally lain sand and gravel with peat formed above. This
sequence underwent sampling with subsequent environmental analysis and
radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon dating of tree bark recovered from the peat dated its
deposition to within the early Bronze Age, specifically between 1690BC and 1520BC.
During this period the archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological results indicated that
the wetland environment contained damp fen carr (mainly alder with willow), semiaquatic swamp and open water aquatic vegetation communities. There was some
indication from the insect record that the wetland environment may have become
increasingly stable (drier) throughout the duration of peat formation. The pollen
stratigraphic record indicated that during the period of peat formation the dryland
contained areas of mixed deciduous woodland, but was mostly open in nature and
supported rough grassland. However, the plant macrofossil and insect records also
provided persuasive evidence for some level of anthropogenic activity near the site
during the period of peat formation. [Au(abr)]

The evaluation comprised nine machine excavated trenches. Archaeological features
were identified in all nine trenches. The majority of the features consisted of pits, in
addition to a single ditch feature recorded in Trench 4. More significantly, a possible
prehistoric activity horizon was identified in Trench 2 due to the identification of two
struck flints. Overall, a high density of archaeological cut features were encountered,
all of which were of limited significance. Evidence for a possible prehistoric activity
horizon was found present, although It could not be ascertained whether this horizon
was a result of primary or secondary deposition. This, taken into account with the
undisturbed sequence of deposits identified across the site, indicated an unlikely
potential for further archaeologically significant features or finds to be present.

The site had a good potential for multi-phase remains dating from the Saxon period.
Previous discovery of remains from the prehistoric and Roman periods was limited in
the area which suggested a relatively low potential of finding evidence from these

medieval remains. Trenches 2 and 4 were much truncated by modern features. Trench
1 displayed relatively well preserved archaeology, and contained a medieval pit, but
finds were relatively sparse. Towards the rear of the site inter-cutting medieval
features were recorded. Two features contained medieval (13th - 14th century) pottery
and residual St. Neots (Saxo-Norman) pottery. Other finds were relatively sparse.

The evaluation consisted of 70 trenches it revealed two discrete sites located across
the two fields, A and B. Site 1, in field A, was interpreted as a Middle Iron Age
industrial area consisting of one or more large pits with a diameter of approximately
20m. The part of the cut that was exposed was square with vertical sides and a very
flat base. It was cut into chalk and artefacts included metal working waste. When the
pit was partially silted up a series of pits, post holes and a linear feature were dug near
to the upper edge. Associated with these features was a deliberately laid pebble
surface which included some burnt stones. Also in field A were several ditches
representing field boundaries or land divisions, part of a co-axial field system. One of
these may have extended, although not continuously, for 200m as it was encountered
in three trenches. Part of its course was close to the large pits in Site 1. Another ditch
on the northern edge of Site 1 contained a domestic dog burial. Site 2, in field B,
consisted of an area of Middle Iron Age settlement. Features included several
boundary ditches, some of a considerable size, two possible water holes, a pit and a
curvilinear gully which could have been part of a roundhouse. The settlement was
restricted to a relatively small area, approximately 1ha. Beyond this no Iron Age
activity was encountered. In addition, trenching revealed extensive evidence of
medieval and post medieval ridge and furrow across much of the site, as well as
features interpreted as agricultural strips. These may have aided drainage in some way
and on the whole followed no discernible pattern or orientation. Some were truncated
by the furrows, others truncated the furrows. They all cut through the sub soil.

A six trial-trench evaluation was undertaken at Kneesworth Hospital in BassingbournCum- Kneesworth on behalf of Partnerships in Care. Several large linear Roman
features dating to the 3rd-4th centuries were identified, likely to be boundary ditches
for fields. Domestic Roman pottery was collected, suggesting direct habitation on or
near the site. Residual flints, probably of the Neolithic period, were retrieved from the
site and several discreet features of Roman and post-medieval date were recorded.

The evaluation found no clear archaeological features, though finds from the subsoil
and tree-throws from the south-western end of Trench 1 suggested some prehistoric
activity in the area. Finds from the ploughsoil were more abundant, but these were
mainly later in date and appeared to have mostly derived from the site's former use as
allotments. [Au(abr)]

Fieldwork
Evans, C & Newman, R
The earliest activity identified was Palaeolithic in date, and consisted of residual
material recovered from post-medieval gravel quarries situated at the eastern end of
the project area. Similarly, a number of Mesolithic and Early Neolithic artefacts were
recovered from residual contexts, their distribution principally restricted to the area of
the Observatory gravel ridge, although a small number were found elsewhere.
Although a small number of Bronze Age features and a single Neolithic feature were
identified in situ, occupation only appeared to have begun in earnest during the
Middle Iron Age, with at least one definite settlement of this date identified. By the
Late Iron Age, occupation was well established, with a minimum of five settlements
being present. In addition, five major Roman settlements were distinguished. These
comprised an early Roman farmstead, a probable late Roman villa, and other
occupation areas, most notably a site that contained both early and late Roman
features, with an Iron Age precursor. This had very high artefact densities, including
finely worked wood from a waterlogged feature, and may have represented a higher
status building. A substantial "formal" inhumation cemetery was also identified. Only
one feature yielded Anglo-Saxon material. This was a pit located opposite the
cemetery site. Further east, evidence of the Howes Close medieval settlement was
recorded, as well as traces of medieval ridge and furrow and a trackway. A further
similar routeway and a hedged paddock were also identified. [Au(abr)]

A trench-based evaluation was carried out on an area of land located at Cantelupe
Farm. Seven trenches were excavated at the site. These were carefully positioned so
as to investigate the footprint of a proposed new grain store and weighbridge, as well
as the course of a proposed drainage ditch and planting strip. Although no
archaeological features were encountered in the former area, in the latter the southern
fringe of a field system associated with a small settlement, later a Scheduled Ancient
Monument, situated immediately to the north of the proposed development area. In
addition, a double-ditched alignment that had previously been identified by an air
photographic survey of the area was also investigated. This feature, which was
discovered to lie approximately 40m to the west of its projected location, and
therefore outside the area of the proposed new buildings, was proved to be Late Iron
Age or Early Roman in date. [Au(abr)]

Germany, M Braintree : Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit, 2010, 39pp,
The work revealed river-related palaeoenvironmental remains, but no man made
features or finds. The remains included a palaeosol, a former peat bed, a probable
silted-up inside edge of a former meander, and a thick covering layer of pale brown
alluvium. Some of the deposits contained pollen and plant macrofossils, although
these were only poorly to moderately preserved. All of the palaeoenvironmental
remains remain undated. The results of the archaeological work suggested that at least
one section of the floodplain of the river Granta contains a wide a variety of geoarchaeological deposits and features, buried beneath and protected by a thick layer of
topsoil and alluvium. If man-made features and finds are present within the wider area
then these are also likely to be well-preserved beneath these layers. [Au(abr)]

The investigation revealed a number of ditches spanning at least two phases of
activity. The first phase dated to the Late Iron Age to 1st century AD, and comprised
mostly field boundaries. The second phase was slightly later, dating to the mid-1st to
mid-2nd century AD. This phase saw the re-establishment of the earlier ditches
together with a greater density of ditches at the southern end of the site. These ditches,
close to and almost parallel with the extant Impington Lane, contained a large
quantity of locally produced sandy coarseware storage and cooking vessels that may
have indicated close proximity to settlement. A brooch and sherd of Samian pottery
were amongst the other finds from this phase. [Au(abr)]

Seventy-five trenches were excavated across the site at 13 proposed turbine locations.
The evaluation identified three groups of features across the proposed development,
concentrated largely on the southern and eastern proposed turbine bases. A group of
Neolithic flint quarry pits were found in the area of Turbine 3 and contained primary
flint reduction waste. These were considered significant, given the limited knowledge
of flint extraction and associated working in the area. Two small groups of features
containing Early Iron Age pottery were also located in the southern part of the site on
the clay soils away from the chalk ridge. These sites were in both cases confined to
the eastern edges of the relevant turbine bases although their full extent was not clear.
They were likely to be outlying features associated with settlements in the area. A
series of undated ditches corresponding with cropmark evidence were revealed across
a number of the turbine bases on the eastern and southern parts of the area. These
ditches were largely undated but they may have been part of a complex identified as
cropmarks. [Au(abr)]

Evaluation
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken, comprising trial trenching and an
earthwork survey. The work confirmed the presence of a significant medieval moat
within the southern and eastern parts of the proposed development area. These
remains were considered to be of high regional significance. No archaeological
deposits were encountered within the central part of the development area. The
evaluation demonstrated that modern ground disturbance had removed large
quantities of the original topsoil and subsoil. It was possible that this had resulted in
the truncation of archaeological deposits within the interior of the moat. The potential
for archaeological remains to be preserved within the central part of the development
area was therefore considered to be low. It was decided however, that the entirety of
the moat falling within the development area should be preserved in situ, and a 2m
wide buffer zone be positioned. Prior to construction work the preservation area
should be fenced off. [Au(adp)]

In Trench 2, the evaluation revealed the remains of a small, double-skinned structure

that it dated from between 1881 and 1901. Given its proximity to the stables, it was
likely to have had a utilitarian function. A ditch encountered in Trench 3 was likely to
be a drainage ditch. Other remains included two modern (probably 19th-century) pits
and several 19th century and later service trenches. The preservation of remains
associated with the 19th and 20th century landscape surrounding Battlesden House
was considered to be good. These remains were interpreted using the 1st, 2nd and 3rd

In the southern and western parts of the development area, the evaluation revealed the
remains of post-medieval and modern activity in the form of ditches, pits and
structures of probable Georgian date. In the north-eastern part of the development
area, the remains of late medieval/early post-medieval field systems were
encountered. Also in the north-eastern part of the development area, evidence was
revealed for Roman settlement from the1st-3rd centuries AD. This included evidence
for late 1st-early 2nd century industrial pottery production in the form of wasters,
seconds, fragments of kiln discs/plates and large quantities of pottery. The discovery
of 1st-3rd century Roman settlement and industrial activity has pushed back the
origins of Woburn by almost one thousand years and it represented the discovery of a
hitherto unknown Roman settlement in the eastern region. Despite the evident plough
truncation within the development area, the presence of a nearby kiln could not be
ruled out. Similarly, the presence of 2nd-3rd century brick demonstrated the potential
for significant structures in the vicinity. These remains were considered to be of
regional significance and had the potential to significantly add to the knowledge of
Roman settlement and local pottery production in Bedfordshire and the east of
England. [Au(abr)]

Land at Lion Lodge, Lion Lane, Billericay, Essex. Archaeological Evaluation
Ennis, T
No remains of prehistoric, Roman or Saxon date were identified. Two sherds of
residual medieval pottery were recovered, but no features were found to indicate that
this back land area of Billericay was actively used in the medieval or early postmedieval period. The earliest archaeological feature investigated was a large sand or
gravel quarry containing pottery dating it to the 18th century and it is likely that the
quarried material was used in contemporary building projects on the near-by High
Street. A Victorian rubbish pit was also excavated, along with three other pits and a
gully dating to the 19th or 20th century. Two animal burials were noted in the south
of the trench. [Au]

intercutting, north to south orientated, post-medieval rectangular refuse pits were
situated in the eastern end of Trench 1. The upper fill of pit 4 contained animal bone,
ceramic tile, window glass and pottery, all of which dated to the late 18th century.
The upper fill of pit 6 contained animal bones, a clay pipe stem fragment and pottery
sherds also dated to the late 18th century. Trench 2 contained a slightly irregular
square pit. The only fill of pit 8 contained clay pipe stem fragments and small pottery

the postulated Roman road or of late medieval/early post-medieval activity related to
the cloth industry. Two late 18th-century intercutting pits and one late 18th to early

The aim of the evaluation was to determine the presence or absence of any
archaeological remains, including a specific objective to investigate any finds or
features associated with the Roman villa remains found during the construction the
Great Bradford's housing estate during the 1970s. A further objective was to
investigate the palaeoenvironmental potential of any associated waterlogged remains.
Trenches 1 and 2, located in the northern area of the site were sterile of finds and
features. Trench 3, located in the south-western corner of the site, contained a small,
modern pit. Due to the late 20th century finds within the pit, it was not further
investigated or recorded. Several burnt areas, on the top of the subsoil were indicative
of modern bonfires. The modern pit overlay a large area of rooting in the southwestern corner which was likely to relate to an oak tree present just outside the site
boundary. An undated small pit was located in the north-eastern end of the trench and
contained no finds. An unstratified, undiagnostic struck flint, to the west of pit 1, was
the only find recovered. Trench 4 was situated at the highest point, in the southeastern corner of the site. The presence of two damaged land drains in the northwestern end of the trench indicated that site drainage had always been a concern. A
north-east to south-west aligned post-medieval ditch was present in Trench 4, it
contained one piece of fragmented ceramic tile and a small piece of oyster shell. The
alignment of the feature indicated that it was probably intended for drainage, as well
as forming a plot boundary. One struck flint indicated the transitory presence of
prehistoric people, though its presence did not aid further interpretation of prehistoric
Braintree. No evidence of Roman to medieval activity was found, perhaps indicating
that the site was marginal land throughout history. The 2nd to 4th Edition Ordnance
Surveys of the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed a boundary running through
the site, along a similar alignment, and in the same place as ditch 5. The evidence
provided by cartographic sources that the site remained agricultural until the 1970s
was supported by the post-medieval ditch and a lack of other datable features and
finds. Though the majority of the trenches were waterlogged they lacked suitable soils
for palaeoenvironmental analysis, the subsoil and topsoil were formed during the
post-medieval and modern periods. [Au(abr)]

Colchester : Colchester Archaeological Trust, 2009,
The site lay to the south of a possible Roman road, the projected course of which
coincided with the modern High Street, and at the southern edge of the built-up area
of medieval Earls Colne. A 10m-long evaluation trench was positioned in the centre
of the site and within the footprint of the proposed extension. Six archaeological
features were revealed, a medieval pit and compacted gravel surface, and four postmedieval or modern pits. The medieval and later pits probably represented domestic
activity, i.e. rubbish-pit digging, in the back yards or gardens of properties fronting
onto York Road and the High Street. The gravel surface, which was cut by a medieval
pit and may itself be medieval in date, was probably located too far east to be the
surface of a precursor of York Road. Instead, it may have been a domestic yard
surface. There was no evidence of Roman roadside settlement. Nor were there any
features (for instance, plot boundaries) relating to the medieval or post-medieval
development of Earls Colne. [Au(abr)]

Fifteen trenches were excavated across the proposed school site. The earliest feature
excavated was a pit of probable Early Iron Age date, while a second undated pit
nearby may have been contemporary but was thought more likely to be of recent date.
No remains of Late Iron Age, Roman, Saxon or medieval date were present indicating
that the main concentrations of activity seen in the 2000-2002 excavations did not
extend this far. Post-medieval features were restricted to trenches located to the west
of a boundary hedge bisecting the site and may have been associated with a former
farm track, first depicted on the 1777 Chapman and Andre map, leading from Dengie
Farm, to the south of the evaluation area, to the Hatfield Road, to the north. Two
ditches were excavated, one of which may have bounded the western side of the track,
whilst gravel deposits within a shallow linear feature may have formed part of the
trackway itself. The evaluation area to the east of the boundary hedge had been
subject to considerable modern disturbance. Much of the area had previously been
stripped of topsoil, some of which had subsequently been re-instated and numerous
modern wheel-ruts were noted along with other disturbances associated with the use
of the area as a contractors’ compound during the adjacent housing development.

Summary

All exposed features were of relatively modern [19th/20th century] date. A brick
surface probably represented the floor of a former 19th or 20th century outbuilding.
Interestingly, this structure was not depicted on early editions of the Ordnance Survey
[late 19th to mid 20th century] suggesting that it may date to the first half of the 19th
century. Alternatively, it was possible that the building was a later structure that was
not mapped, perhaps because it was only in use for a short period of time before its
destruction. No remains dating to the medieval or post-medieval periods were
identified. The lack of medieval features and absence of medieval pottery suggested
this part of the town may not have been built-up in the medieval period. A similar
lack of post-medieval remains, apart from one very abraded residual pottery sherd,
suggested that this area may not have been developed until as late as the 18th or early

8C ANCHOR STREET, CHELMSFORD
8c Anchor Street, Chelmsford, Essex. Archaeological Investigation
The investigation recorded a backyard area at the rear of a ribbon development along
the Roman road, indicated by Roman gullies, pits and associated finds. The gullies
may represent boundaries of building plots alongside the Roman road. Most of the
pits were probably dug for rubbish disposal, although some may originally have been
plank-lined, serving as water tanks. Occupation at the site appears to have begun in
the 2nd century and to have declined by the mid 4th century. A human skull found in
one of the pits probably indicated that the site was situated near a Roman cemetery.
These results complemented the findings of an earlier archaeological excavation
nearby at 145 Moulsham Street and indicated that occupation in this part of the
Roman town continued from the late 1st/2nd century into the early 4th century, but
had declined by the mid-4th century. The site must have lain close to the southern
edge of the Roman town, as earlier excavations at Last’s Garage only a short distance
to the south showed a contraction of the occupied area in the late 2nd/early 3rd
century. [Au(abr)]

other activity of that date. No remains positively dating to the Roman, medieval or
post-medieval periods were identified, and there was no evidence of the postulated
Roman cremation cemetery. One undated ditch containing baked clay and burnt flint
ran parallel to Springfield Road and the presumed line of its Roman predecessor and
was therefore most likely to be of Roman or medieval date. The latest excavated
feature was a small pit dating to the 19th or 20th century. The archaeological remains

former Cavalry Barracks (Area J2, to the north) and Goojerat Barracks (Area L/N, to
the south). The principal remains revealed by the twelve evaluation trenches were the
widespread remains of the barracks (constructed in 1900-1902, and rebuilt in the early
1970s). Significant archaeological features were very thinly distributed. Three
undated features in Trench 5 may have been Roman in date, mainly because one, a
ditch, shared the orientation of a Roman field system found, for example, on GAL
Area J2, to the north of Areas K1 and K2, and elsewhere. Only three sherds of pottery
were found during the evaluation (two Late Roman and one medieval), all of which
were residual in later contexts. Other features included natural linears (probably of
glacial origin), and tree-throw pits, of which some were natural and some were
possibly due to the deliberate removal of tree stumps in connection with agricultural
land clearance. [Au(abr)]

Evaluation
Sparrow, P
An evaluation was conducted at Kingswode Hoe School before the proposed
construction of an extension. The school lay at the south-western edge of the
nationally important Late Iron Age settlement at Sheepen, the pre-Roman capital of
the Catuvellauni, which was protected as a Scheduled Monument. Previous
excavations conducted in the 1930s revealed a major Late Iron Age settlement northeast of the school, defended on its western side by the Sheepen Dyke, a large
earthwork constructed in c. AD 10 and levelled following the Roman conquest of AD
43. An extension to the Sheepen Dyke, thought to have been added shortly before the
Roman invasion, was projected as running immediately to the south-east of the
proposed development area. One trench was excavated at right angles to the projected
line of the Sheepen Dyke extension. The trench recorded a prehistoric pit and the
south-eastern edge of a large Late Iron Age ditch whose fill contained pottery dated to
the first half of the 1st century AD. This ditch was identified as part of the Sheepen
Dyke extension, running 10m to the north-west of its projected line and across the
south-east of the proposed extension. Despite the presence of modern disturbances,
the Late Iron Age ditch had survived largely intact. [Au(abr)]

An archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to 9 Walters Yard, Colchester,
Essex,
April 2009
This site was on the eastern side of Insula 11 of the Roman town. An archaeological
evaluation established that the highest significant archaeological horizons were
Roman in date. The Roman horizons were overlaid by a considerable depth of postmedieval and modern strata. As would be expected in the Roman town, the postmedieval soils contained a quantity of Roman brick and tile and other building
material derived from the robbing of Roman buildings in the vicinity. A robber trench
marked the position of the wall of a Roman building (robbed out in the medieval
period) which stood in the north-eastern quarter of the Insula, and an adjacent
fragment of compacted clay represented the floor of a Roman building probably
predating the robbed wall. Historic maps indicated that this was an area of gardens in
the post-medieval period. That fact, combined with the gradual infilling of previous
garden areas with new buildings during the 18th-20th centuries, would explain the
depths of modern and post-medieval soils identified on the site. [Au(abr)]

Two deposits were homogeneous, contained no inclusions, and appeared geological in
character. Two features were identified cut into coarse sand, a modern ditch or
drainage channel. The fill contained animal bone (cow metacarpal, rib and tibia, all of
which exhibited butchery marks), post-medieval earthenware and Victorian pot
fragments, and a plain clay-pipe stem fragment. The second feature was a sub-square
pit or post hole containing modern artefacts (20th century) and was probably
associated with the buildings that previously occupied the site. Modern and postmedieval artefacts were recovered from the layer into which the features were cut.
These included animal bone (a cow incisor), Victorian pot and flowerpot fragments,
and modern brick fragments. A large fragment of Roman jar or amphora was also
recovered. The pot was probably a product of the Brockley Hill Verulamium region
kilns and was dated as 1st to early-mid 2nd century. Peg-tile and post-medieval brick
was also recovered. The depth of the modern make-up suggested that any surviving
archaeology below the modern material would be unlikely to be impacted by the
proposed development. Moreover, the land was unlikely to have been utilised in
antiquity as it would most likely have been marshland if not a part of the riverbed
when the water course to the south of the site was substantially larger before the

BOURCHIER’S HALL, BACK ROAD, TOLLESHUNT D’ARCY
Bourchier’s Hall, Back Road, Tolleshunt D’arcy Essex. Archaeological Evaluation
and Excavation
Sparrow, P
An evaluation was conducted at Bourchier’s Hall prior to the construction of an
extension to the existing stables block. Bourchier’s Hall was located to the east of
Tolleshunt D’Arcy and dated to the early 14th century. The hall was situated within a
large moated enclosure, which survived as a series of disjointed ponds. The site
contained a number of ancillary buildings some of which had been converted for
residential use. The main aims and objectives of the investigation were to establish the
presence, nature and extent of any medieval occupation activity and any evidence for
the construction of the moat. One trench was excavated revealing an 18th century
ditch overlain by an 18th-19th century gravel layer. Several layers and a fragmentary
section of wall all dated to the 19th century and probably related to the construction
and early use of the existing stable block. No medieval finds or features were present.

An Archaeological Evaluation at Thistle Hall, Mope Lane, Wickham Bishops,
Essex
Brooks, H & Holloway, B
Evaluation of the site revealed two unaccompanied urn cremation burials and part of a
probable WWI military training trench. The burials were poorly preserved because of
plough damage. Neither could be closely dated, but they were Late Iron Age to
Roman in date, and likely to have been part of a small cemetery that may already have
been excavated in 1929-30. [Au(abr)]

LAND REAR OF 26 SOUTH STREET, ROCHFORD
Land Rear of 26 South Street, Rochford, Essex. Archaeological Evaluation
Ennis, T
A few sherds of residual medieval pottery were recovered, but no features to indicate
that this part of Rochford was developed in the medieval period. No remains of
prehistoric, Roman or Saxon date were identified. In total, four archaeological
features were investigated. Two large quarry pits were excavated towards the rear of
the property, both of which had been back-filled with a variety of domestic and other
rubbish in the first half of the 17th century. It was likely that this infilling material
derived from a building at the front of the property, perhaps suggesting that this part
of South Street was occupied by this time. Two pits dated to the 19th or 20th century.
Both were situated in line with the rear of 28 South Street and may have been
associated with this property. The larger of the two pits had a very damp lower fill
suggesting that it may have been part of a silted-up pond. [Au(abr)]

THE CHASE, ELMSTEAD MARKET
The Chase, Elmstead Market, Essex. Archaeological Evaluation by TrialTrenching (Phase 2a)
Archaeological trial-trenching undertaken in advance of a second phase of treeplanting at Lodge Farm Elmstead Market uncovered mostly undatable features and a
small quantity of worked flint and prehistoric pottery. Most of the remains were
situated within an area of light, well-drained soil overlooking the valley of the
Tenpenny Brook. It was conjectured that some of the remains represented an Early to
Middle Iron Age farmstead. Other remains probably represented post-medieval and
modern field ditches. The majority of the prehistoric pot sherds were not closely
datable because they were small and abraded, although two of the sherds dated to the
Early to Middle Iron Age. The worked flint comprised flakes and waste pieces. The
only piece of worked flint datable dated to the Late Bronze Age or later. [Au(abr)]

ST. JOHN’S ROAD, CLACTON-ON-SEA
An Archaeological Evaluation at St. John’s Road, Clacton-on-Sea, Essex
Crawley, P
tabs, refs
A desk-based assessment carried out as part of this evaluation revealed that the site
lay at the centre of a series of cropmark complexes of various periods and a Historic
Environment Characterisation Project undertaken by English Heritage had previously
identified the area as being of potentially high archaeological importance. The
cropmarks in the northern part of the site were regular and on the same alignment as
the modern field boundaries. The evaluation confirmed that they were part of the postmedieval field-system and were probably associated with the fairly recently
demolished Joy’s Farm, the remains of which were also recorded. Former postmedieval field boundaries and drains were by far the most common features
encountered and were present in nearly half of the trenches. Other features recorded
included a series of generally small and shallow undated features, some of which may
have had contained a fire, and a number of irregular features, possibly elements of
medieval settlement, perhaps the forerunner to Joy’s Farm. [Au(abr)]
