Abstract:
The desk-based assessment considered the archaeological potential of the site, and the likely impact on this of the proposed redevelopment. Archaeological deposits and features consisted of possible prehistoric and Roman remains, as these had been found in the vicinity. The 19th century industrial structures present on the site were also worthy of some recording. The construction of the 19th century buildings would have had a large impact on the potential archaeological remains on the site as they were cut into the natural slope. The principal impact of the proposed works would involve the removal of all archaeological deposits and features, which may have survived. The report concluded that further investigation (field evaluation) may be necessary to determine the exact nature and depth of such deposits and to satisfy the conditions of the archaeological brief.
