EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A Heritage Statement was produced for two areas of land off Branston Road, Branston,

Burton-on-Trent, ahead of the submission of a planning application for a proposed new Burton High School. The assessment identified that there are 18 Listed Buildings, two Conservation Areas, 35 undesignated archaeological assets, nine undesignated historic buildings and 41 Historic Landscape Character (HLC) units within the 1km study area adopted for the assessment. Cropmark evidence within the study area indicates that there is high potential for archaeological remains of prehistoric date to survive in the vicinity, and enclosures of possible prehistoric date are recorded on the Staffordshire Historic Environment Record within Area 2 of the proposed development area (PDA). Analysis of lidar data has potentially identified the location of one of these enclosures, and has also identified two parallel linear features within Area 1 of the PDA. These features have been tentatively identified as a possible cursus, a monument type which is relatively common along the Middle Trent around Burton-on-Trent, although this interpretation should be treated with caution and remains only speculative at this stage, especially as these features were not identified by a geophysical survey that has been undertaken across the PDA. The geophysical survey did identify a number of anomalies across the two areas that are considered likely to be geological in origin, although it was concluded that an archaeological origin for these anomalies could not be discounted, and some of them correspond with the location of the possible rectangular enclosure identified in the lidar data. The results of the desk based research and geophysical survey have been submitted to Staffordshire County Council’s Principal Archaeologist as part of the pre-application consultations for the proposed scheme, who has stated that the anomalies identified as a result of the geophysical survey will need to be tested by a programme of evaluation trenching which should also include a sample of ‘blank’ areas across the scheme, and if conditions permit, a programme of fieldwalking. Nevertheless, it was further concluded that whilst the area of the scheme possessed archaeological potential, this was not likely to represent a material constraint to development on the site, and therefore the evaluation trenching could be undertaken via a condition on any future planning permission for the scheme. Such works would then inform the need for, and scope of, any further mitigation, and if undertaken at an early enough stage, could assist in the design of the scheme.

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project and Planning Background Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Entrust to produce a Heritage Statement for an area of land off Branston Road in the parish of Branston, Burton-upon-Trent. This is ahead of the submission of a planning application for a proposed new Burton High School. Pre-planning advice for the scheme has been provided by Staffordshire County Council (SCC)’s Principal Archaeologist, as reproduced below. ‘While the Staffordshire Historic Environment Record (HER) does not record the presence of archaeological remains across the site, it does identify considerable evidence for late prehistoric ceremonial and burial activity and evidence for later agricultural and settlement activity (from the Iron Age through to the early medieval period) in the vicinity. As such, there is demonstrable potential for the presence of previously unrecorded and significant archaeological remains across the site. National Planning Policy Framework (para 128) states that local planning authorities should ‘require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected’ and also ‘Where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, local planning authorities should require developers to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment and, where necessary, a field evaluation.’ In this instance, an initial Heritage Statement should be prepared in support of any planning permission for the scheme. This statement should be prepared by a suitably experienced archaeologist or cultural heritage consultant. The applicant should also be aware that there remains the potential for a staged archaeological evaluation to be advised at the full application stage dependent upon the full details of the scheme. As such, the Environmental Advice Team should be consulted as and when a full planning application for this scheme is submitted’. The results of this Heritage Statement can be used by the SCC’s Principal Archaeologist to inform requirements for any further evaluation and/or mitigation, and to inform the planning determination. 1.2 Site description The ‘red line boundary’ of the proposed development area (hereafter ‘PDA’) comprises the area depicted by the red polygons on Figure 1, which encompasses a total area of 13.49ha. It is proposed to locate the main school buildings and sports field in the large field to the west (Area 1). It is bounded to the north by a drainage ditch and mature hedgerow with the southern slopes of the prominent ridge beyond (Figure 20); to the east by a mature hedgerow and the curtilage of Lawns Farm Cottage (Figure 19); to the south by a mature hedgerow running alongside Branston Road (Figure 25); and to the west by a further mature hedgerow (Figure 24). The topography of Area 1 is generally flat, but the ground rises gently towards the north-west edge of the field. The majority of the field is around 50m above mean sea

Page | 1 Land off Branston Road, Branston, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Heritage Statement

level (AMSL), rising to c.56m AMSL at the north-eastern corner and c.59m AMSL at the north-western corner. The field was under stubble at the time of the site visit (Figures 18-27). Part of the field to the east on the opposite side of Branston Road is required for proposed highway alterations, a pupil drop off and collection point (Area 2). The part of this field included within the PDA is bounded to the north-west and north-east by mature hedgerows with Branston Road beyond, by a hedgerow to the south-west, and is unbounded to the south-east. The topography of this field is flat, with a height of c.49m AMSL. The field was under stubble at the time of the site visit (Figures 28- 31). 1.3 Geology The underlying solid geology of the PDA comprises bedrock of the Mercia Mudstone Group, and approximately a third of Area 1 along its south-eastern edge and the whole of Field 2 are overlain by a superficial deposit of sand and gravel of the Holme Pierrepoint Sand and Gravel Member (BGS 2015). The soils of the north-western part of Area 1 are classified as belonging to the WORCESTER Soil Association (431) which are typical argillic pelosols (SSEW 1983a; 1983b, 5). These soils form over Permo-Triassic reddish mudstone and are characterised as ‘slowly permeable non-calcareous and calcareous reddish clayey soils over mudstone, shallow on steeper slopes. Associated with similar non- calcareous fine loamy over clayey soils. Slight risk of water erosion’ (SSEW 1983b, 7). The soils of the south-eastern part of Area 1 are classified as belonging to the WIGTON MOOR Soil Association (831c), which are typical cambic gley soils (SSEW 1983a; 1983b, 5). These soils form over river terrace and glaciofluvial drift, and are characterised as ‘Permeable fine and coarse loamy soils variably affected by groundwater, the drier soils being on slightly raised sites. Generally flat land’ (SSEW 1983b, 19). The soils of Area 2 are classified as belonging to the FLADBURY 2 Soil Association (813a) which are pelo-alluvial gley soils, which develop in clayey or loamy alluvium at least 30cm thick (SSEW 1983b, 5). These soils form over river alluvium, and are characterised as ‘Stoneless clayey soils variably affected by groundwater, some with sandy subsoils. Some similar fine loamy soils. Flat land. Risk of flooding’. (SSEW 1983b, 19).

2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The principal aims of this assessment are to produce a report detailing the archaeological potential of the PDA, and to assess the potential impacts of the proposed development upon any buried and upstanding archaeological remains, historic buildings, the historic landscape and the settings of nationally designated assets. The following objectives will contribute towards accomplishing this aim:

Page | 2 Land off Branston Road, Branston, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Heritage Statement

To collate and assess existing information about the historic environment within the study area and to determine as fully as possible from the available evidence the nature, survival, quality, extent and importance of any archaeological remains and any upstanding buildings/structures within the PDA.

To provide an assessment of areas of archaeological potential and survival based on the above research and assess the potential for the use of particular investigative techniques in order to aid the formulation of any necessary mitigation strategy, including further evaluation, excavation, and/or preservation of archaeological remains.

To assess, where possible from the available sources, the extent of any ground disturbance associated with any previous intrusive development.

To provide an initial assessment of potential impacts of the proposed development to the settings of designated cultural heritage assets.

3 METHOD STATEMENT The DBA was undertaken in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ Standards and Guidance for Historic Environment Desk Based Assessment (CIfA 2014) and in accordance with Government policy on the historic environment contained within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 3.1 Study Area The study area adopted for this assessment comprises a 1km off-set from the ‘redline boundary’ of the PDA. The extent of the 1km study area is depicted by a dark blue polygon on Figure 1. 3.2 Information Sources The following sources of information were consulted to inform this assessment.

4 BASELINE DATA 4.1 Archaeological and Historical Background This section provides an overview of the archaeological and historical background of the study area placed within its regional context. Where heritage assets or findspots are discussed, then the Staffordshire or Derbyshire HER reference numbers (for non- designated assets) or the NHLE number (for designated assets) will be referenced.

4.1.1 The Prehistoric Period The activity of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic populations is intrinsically difficult to detect in the archaeological record, although flint artefacts, evidence for ephemeral activities such as hearths and post-built structures, faunal remains and palaeo- environmental information provide indicators of human activity during these periods. There are no known findspots dating to this period within the study area, although a burial discovered close to the Trent at Branston, is thought to be of possible Mesolithic date (Tringham 2003, 5). Known Neolithic remains along the course of the Trent in the Burton area include a nationally important ceremonial complex at Catholme, c.4 km to the south of the study area, close to the confluence of the Rivers Trent and Tame (NHLE 1019109 and

Page | 4 Land off Branston Road, Branston, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Heritage Statement

1006073). The principal monuments of this complex comprise two cursus monuments, a ‘sunburst monument’ comprising a central pit and lines of post pits radiating from an encircling ring ditch, and a ‘woodhenge monument’, comprising five concentric rings of post pits formed into 39 radiating lines (Buteux and Chapman 2009, 66-76). The cursus at Catholme is likely to be the earliest of the monuments within the complex, as these monuments generally date from the Middle Neolithic period (Loveday 2006, 10). A further four possible cursuses have been recorded along the section of the Trent that runs through East Staffordshire and South Derbyshire, including one at Alrewas, c.2km to the south west of the Catholme complex (SHER 207), and another possible example c.2.5km to the north-west of Catholme at Tucklesholme Farm, Barton-under-Needwood, (SHER 208). Across the county border in Derbyshire, some 11km to the north-west of the study area, a further example has been recorded close to the Trent in the Willington/Findern area (DHER 27401), and another example from Derbyshire is located some 10km further downstream at Aston-upon-Trent (DHER 16603; NHLE 1003279). Further cropmarks at the eastern side of the study area (SHER 01410) include a possible Neolithic mortuary enclosure, which further attests to this stretch of the Trent floodplain being a focus for Neolithic ritual activity. Analysis of lidar data undertaken as part of this assessment has also identified the presence of two roughly east-west oriented parallel linear features c.45m apart towards the northern edge of the PDA (see Figures 2 and 17). These features are precisely the same distance apart as the ditches of the cursus at Catholme, and it is feasible that these features could indicate the presence of a previously unidentified cursus, although this interpretation is tentative and would need to be tested through further evaluation. A large concentration of Bronze Age ring ditches and barrows have been recorded in the Middle Trent valley, and the majority of those mapped by the National Forest National Mapping Project were located in the area to the south-west of Burton-on- Trent (Macleod 1995, 21). Although no such remains have been positively identified within the study area, a cropmark of a double ring ditch c.750m to the west of the PDA (SHER 01367) could relate to such activity, and a cropmark of a sub-circular enclosure thought to be a barrow ditch has been identified c.1.45km to the east of the PDA in Branston (SHER 01410). Middle Bronze Age activity has also been attested at the northern edge of the study area at Sinai Park, where a socketed and side looped spearhead was discovered by a metal detectorist (SHER 60648). There are a number of other undated cropmarks within the study area which have been assigned a possible later prehistoric date on morphological grounds. A north- south oriented pit alignment which terminates c.780m to the south-west of the PDA is thought likely to be late Bronze Age or Iron Age in date (SHER 0143). There are numerous similar pit alignments in the Middle Trent valley to the south-west of Burton-on-Trent, and these appear to be dividing the land west of the Trent into large blocks of land, with boundaries perpendicular to the river (Buteux and Chapman 2009, 106). Further cropmarks of a rectangular enclosure and irregular

Page | 5 Land off Branston Road, Branston, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Heritage Statement

enclosure have been recorded in the field immediately to the south of the PDA, and these have been assigned a possible Bronze Age to Roman date. Other undated cropmarks within the study area which could have a later prehistoric date have been recorded to the west of the PDA, comprising possible enclosures, ring ditches, pits and linear features (SHER 01406 and 01407). A cropmark of a trackway of probable prehistoric date has also been identified as a cropmark amongst a multi-period complex of cropmarks in Branston, c.1.25km to the east of the PDA (SHER 01410).

4.1.2 The Romano-British Period Ryknield Street, the Roman Road which connected the camps at Wall (Lichfield) and Little Chester (Derby), skirts the south-western edge of the study area, and a road running from Leicester towards Stafford has also been postulated along a route which runs from south-east to north-west across the western side of the study area (SHER 54329). Indications of settlement activity from this period have been identified at two locations within the study area where Roman pottery has been recovered. A mortarium fragment was found at Lawns Farm c.740m to the north-east of the PDA (SHER 01734), and a sherd of possible Roman date has also been found in Tatenhill, although its precise provenance in not known (SHER 05147). A metal detectorist also discovered a 1st - 2nd century AD bow brooch from within Sinai Park, c.920m to the north of the PDA (SHER 60644). A cropmark of an enclosure of possible Roman date has also been identified amongst a multi-period complex of cropmarks in Branston, c.1.4km to the east of the PDA (SHER 01410), and evidence for possible Romano-British settlement activity within the PDA itself has been identified in the field within which Area 2 is located, where cropmarks of a rectilinear enclosure and an irregular enclosure of possible prehistoric or Romano-British date have been noted (SHER 01408). Although the precise location of these features is not recorded on the SHER, analysis of the lidar data for the area has identified the possible location of the rectilinear enclosure, which appears to straddle the south-eastern boundary of Area 2 (ARS2).

4.1.3 The Medieval Period The stretch of the Middle Trent between Burton-on-Trent and Catholme marks the western limit of pagan Anglo-Saxon burials in the midlands, and therefore represents the likely limit of early Anglo-Saxon settlement (Buteux and Chapman 2009, 147- 148). There is no known evidence for early medieval settlement activity within the study area, but the place-name Tatenhill is thought to be derived from the Old English personal name Tata, hence ‘Tata’s hill’ (Horowitz 2005, 530), and it has been postulated that this may have derived from the use of the prominent ridge to the east of the settlement as a look-out point (Horowitz 2005, 57). Although close to the medieval settlement of Tatenhill, the PDA is located at the western edge of the parish of Branstone (renamed Branston in 1958), and this also derives from an Old English personal name, Brant and the Old English tūn (Horowitz 2003, 145).

Page | 6 Land off Branston Road, Branston, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Heritage Statement

There are numerous cropmarks and earthwork remains within the study area which provide evidence for settlement and agricultural activity during the medieval period. Earthwork remains including possible crofts and a hollow way to the south of Tatenhill (SHER 05184) indicate that the settlement was once larger than it is today, and there are considerable expanses of ridge and furrow surrounding the village which attest to medieval agricultural practices (SHER 20305; 56899; 57926; 56893; 57926) as well as further to the east in Branston parish (SHER 01410). A considerable estate including lands at Branstone and Tatenhill was granted to the nobleman Wulfsige the Black by King Edmund in 942, and many of these estates may have formerly been held by Vikings (Tringham 2003, 4). Wulfsige was an ancestor of Wulfric Spot, founder of Burton Abbey, and the abbey established a grange at Shobnall where there was a park in the early 14th century. A house surrounded by a moat located within the park was used as a retreat for bloodletting by monks from the abbey, known as ‘the manor of seyne’, derived from the French for blood (Tringham 2003, 168-9). This moated site and house is still extant and is located c.800m to the north-east of the study area, now known as Sinai Park House (NHLE 1011068). The park was enlarged in the late 15th century, and deer are first recorded here in 1532, although it is likely that the park was in use as the Burton abbot’s hunting ground prior to this (Tringham 2003, 167-8). Sinai Park Deer may have been grazed on an area of grassland known as the Lawns, which covers the area immediately to the east of the PDA, and the western boundary of the park is considered to have been demarcated by the hollow way which runs along the eastern side of the PDA (SHER 02033). The park pale is depicted as running alongside this hollow way on Yates’ map of 1775 (Figure 9).

4.1.4 The Post-Medieval Period A map of Branston dating to 1759 (Figure 6) depicts the hollow way to the east of the PDA as a wide hedged lane, and this map depicts Area 1 of the PDA as divided into two fields divided by a hedge line, named as ‘Lower Haystall’ to the west, and ‘The Haystalls’ to the east. Lower Haystalls is divided into strips, and is separated by a block of woodland to the north called Haystall Rough from another strip field called Upper Haystalls, which is located on the crest of the ridge to the north. The fields situated along the ridge are all named ‘The Hills’. Area 2 of the PDA was located within a single field named ‘Mare Moor Close’. Subsequent maps up to one dating from c.1810 depict his layout as unchanged (Figures 7, 8, 10 and 11), but by the time of the earliest Ordnance Survey (OS) field survey drawing of 1816, the block of woodland at Haystall Rough had been extended westwards as far as the lane (Figure 12). A plan dated to 1820 depicts this lane in detail, showing ‘encroachments’ of the land on to the land of the Marquess of Anglesey, who owned the land either side of the lane (Figure 14). This plan depicts a footpath which joins the lane from the west, passing through the PDA, which is shown as ‘stopped up’ on the eastern side. The plan names the lane as ‘Battlestead Lane’, and this is the earliest documented reference to the name ‘Battlestead’ in the area that has been identified, and no earlier spellings are known which might indicate that this name is ancient (Horowitz 2005, 106). Whilst the Old English stede means ‘place’ or ‘site’, and therefore the

Page | 7 Land off Branston Road, Branston, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Heritage Statement

name could mean the site of a battle, there are no known earlier documentary references to the name prior to this plan in 1820, and there is no known historical or documentary evidence that there was a battle in this vicinity (Horowitz 2003, 156). It is possible that this name arose from a misconception in the 19th century or perhaps earlier that the Anglo Saxon Chronicle description of a battle between the English and Vikings in 910 AD near Teotanheale may have occurred here, but it is well established by toponymical researchers that this place-name is an early version of the place-name Tettenhall, which is located near Wolverhampton (Horowitz 2003, 587; Ekwall 1960, 463-4). An undated but evidently later map (Figure 16) illustrates that The Haystalls had been subdivided into two fields, and the earliest OS first editions 0f 1884 (Appendices 4 and 5, p.2) depict the same layout within the PDA. These maps also illustrate that the prominent hill spur c.400m to the north of the PDA was named ‘Battlestead Hill’ by this time, and the woodland on the ridge to the south-west which was formerly known as ‘The Hills’ was labelled ‘Easthill Wood’, indicating that the ridge was known locally as Easthill. By 1884 Battlestead Lane had been blocked off by the construction of a house at the junction with Branston Road, and a block of woodland is depicted running along its length. All subsequent OS maps up to 1970 inclusive depict the layout of the PDA as unchanged, but the 1972 25 inch map (Appendix 4, p.8) illustrates that the two internal field boundaries within Area 1 of the PDA had been removed to form the one large agglomerated field which is still extant. There are numerous cropmarks and earthworks within the study area that are thought to relate to post-medieval or possibly earlier activity in the landscape, such as the series of hollow ways to the west (HER 53952-5) and east (HER 02033; 04092) of Tatenhill; possible field boundaries (HER56905-6) and earthwork banks (HER 05186); and the site of a small ‘outfarm’ that was established in the late 19th century but is no longer extant (HER 54885). The only evidence for post-medieval activity within the PDA itself is the addition of a further field boundary within Area 1 at some point in the 19th century, as depicted on the OS 1st edition, and the subsequent removal of both internal boundaries from Area 1in the early 1970s. Area 2 has apparently remained unchanged since at least the 18th century. 4.2 Designated Heritage Assets On-Site There are no designated heritage assets within the PDA. Off-Site There are 20 designated heritage assets within the wider study area, comprising two Conservation Areas and 18 Listed Buildings. Details of these designated assets are provided in Appendix 2, and their locations are illustrated on Figure 3. The NHLE also lists a Scheduled Monument at the south-western edge of the 1km study area (NHLE no. 1006075 - Enclosure 350yds (320m) N of Tivey's House), but this is no longer extant as it has been destroyed as a result of gravel extraction.

4.3 Non-Designated Heritage Assets

4.3.1 Archaeological Remains On-Site There is one SHER entry within the PDA, comprising cropmarks of two possible prehistoric enclosures which extend across Area 2 and beyond (SHER 04408). One of these enclosures may have been identified from the lidar data (ARS2), and two parallel linear features identified on the lidar data in Area 1 could also have an archaeological origin (ARS1). These are described in Table 1 below and depicted by magenta dotted lines on Figure 2. Table 1: Non-designated archaeological remains located within the PDA Project ID HER ID NRHE ID Description Enclosures, West of Branston Bridge. Tatenhill. Cropmark evidence for a rectangular enclosure and an 01408 01408 N/A irregular enclosure of possible Bronze Age to Roman date. Two parallel linear features c.45m apart are visible on the lidar data running across the length of the PDA on a SW-NE orientation. These do not conform to the grain ARS1 N/A N/A of the modern ploughing or respect the former field boundaries and strips identified on historic mapping. Possible cursus? Rectilinear enclosure identified from the lidar data. Measures c.60m NW-SE and c.30m SW-NE. Possibly the ARS2 01408? N/A same rectilinear enclosure identified as cropmarks on air photographs (SHER 01408).

Off-Site Within the wider 1km study area there are 35 archaeological assets recorded on the Staffordshire HER. Details of these extracted from their respective HER entries are provided in Appendix 1, and their locations are depicted on Figure 2. Many of these assets were also recorded on the NRHE, and a concordance of the reference numbers for these assets is also provided in Appendices 1 and 2.

4.3.2 Historic Buildings On-Site There are no Historic Buildings within the PDA. Off-Site There are nine non-designated Historic Buildings within the wider study area. Details of these assets extracted from their respective HER entries are provided in Appendix 2, and their locations are depicted on Figure 3.

4.3.3 Historic Landscape On-Site The PDA is located within a single HLC unit, as described in Table 2 below and illustrated on Figure 5. Table 2: HLC types Located within the PDA HLC ID Broad Type HLC refined type Previous Type 1 Previous type 2

Piecemeal HST5911 Fieldscapes Strip Fields Strip Fields Enclosure

Off-Site There are 41 other individual HLC units within the wider study area, comprising six broad types and 18 refined types. These are illustrated on Figures 4 and 5 respectively, and details are provided in Appendix 3. The PDA is also located within the Historic Environment Character Zone (HECZ) BRHECZ 8 – West of Branston and Shobnall (SCC 2013).

5 ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AFFECTED HERITAGE ASSETS The PDA is located within an area for which ‘There is a high potential for below ground archaeological deposits associated with prehistoric activity in particular to survive’ (SCC 2013, 39). These assets could potentially be of regional or national importance due to the evidential value that they might possess. The possibility that features identified on air photos and from the lidar data represent prehistoric enclosures and a Neolithic cursus requires further evaluation in order to ascertain their significance. The proposed development would also be located within the setting of the Conservation Areas of Tatenhill and The Trent and Mersey canal, which both possess high historical value. The historic landscape unit within which the PDA possesses illustrative historic value as the physical manifestation of the piecemeal enclosure of the landscape in the post medieval period, although it is to be noted that ‘the integrity of the historic character of the landscape has been impacted to a degree by 20th century changes in farming practice’ (SCC 2013, 39). This process is evident within the PDA which has suffered boundary loss during the 20th century, although the external boundaries of the PDA remain intact.

6 ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS The development proposals will involve the construction of a new school building, sports pitches, highway alterations and car parking. All of these developments have the potential to truncate or destroy any buried archaeological remains that might be

Page | 10 Land off Branston Road, Branston, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Heritage Statement

present, although it is possible that the creation of the sports pitches could be designed in such a way that archaeological remains could be preserved in situ. The possibility that features identified as cropmarks and from the lidar data could represent a cursus and prehistoric enclosures should not be discounted, although it should be noted that a geophysical survey that has been commissioned as an initial stage of evaluation (Durkin 2015) did not positively identify any anomalies at these locations. There would be no impacts to Listed Buildings within Tatenhill Conservation Area as a result of the development proposals, as the prominent intervening ridge of East Hill serves to screen views from the village core and the PDA. The key views identified within the Landscape and Setting section of the Tatenhill Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (SCC 2013b) that are worthy of protection include views from the northern part of the Conservation Area towards Battlestead Hill, views into the village from the footpaths to the east, and the views from the main street along paddocks out to the surrounding landscape. None of these views would be affected by the development proposals. Nevertheless, views to and from Battlestead Hill are also considered to be important (SCC 2013b, 27), and the impacts to views from the hill have been confirmed by the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) that has been produced as part of the Environmental Statement. Viewpoints D, E and F included in the LVIA indicate that the proposed development would be clearly visible in views to the south-east from National Forest Way footpath which runs along the crest of Battlestead Hill. This would have an urbanising effect upon the largely rural character of the Trent Valley washlands which dominate the views to the south-east from Battlestead Hill. The Branston Locks-Lawns Farm development and the new Burton Rugby Club at Branston Bridge which already have outline planning permission would also impact negatively upon this view across the Trent washlands, should these developments be progressed, and the cumulative impact of these developments would result in the westward expansion of development on the western side of Burton-on-Trent continuing as far as the boundary of the Tatenhill Conservation Area. Nevertheless, the ridge of Battlestead Hill will continue to provide a ‘buffer’ between the historic core of the village and the proposed new developments, and it is also noted that as the National Forest woodland planting on Battlestead Hill matures, the views across the Trent washlands which will include the development will become increasingly restricted. Notwithstanding this, the historic rural character of the Conservation Area’s wider setting does contribute to its significance, and there will be a slight adverse impact to this wider setting should the development proposals be progressed due to the urbanisation of the historic approach to the Conservation Area from the south-east, and the views to and from Battlestead Hill. Viewpoints J, K and L rom the LVIA are taken from locations within the Grand Union Canal Conservation Area, and these viewpoints suggest that whilst it is likely that the school building would be visible in glimpsed views from the canal towpath, much of the rest of the development would be likely to be hidden from view due to the low- lying nature of the floodplain and the screening afforded by the intervening

Page | 11 Land off Branston Road, Branston, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Heritage Statement

vegetation. Should the Branston Locks-Lawns Farm and the new Burton Rugby Club developments be progressed, then the proposed school development would be further screened by the buildings and planting associated with these developments. Moreover it is considered that the significance of this Conservation Area is largely enshrined in the historic value of the canal architecture, and more distant views such as the development would impinge upon contribute little to this significance. Consequently, it is considered that the very minor changes to the setting of the Conservation Area would result a negligible impact upon its significance. Impacts to the historic landscape would result from the loss of part of a single HLC unit which is considered to be of medium value, due to already having been subject to boundary loss, although partial legibility of the type (‘piecemeal enclosure’) is still possible due to retention of the surviving external field boundaries. All of these boundaries are formed by hedgerows which are designated as ‘historically important’ under the terms of the Hedgerow Regulations 1997, as they form ‘an integral part of a field system pre-dating the Enclosure Acts’ (meaning an Enclosure Act mentioned in the Short Titles Act: the earliest of these was made in 1845). Whilst there would be a change of land-use as a result of the proposed development, the historic boundaries could be retained thereby preserving the partial legibility of the former HLC type.

7 CONCLUSIONS This assessment has identified that there is a high potential for buried archaeological remains dating from the prehistoric period onwards to be present within the PDA, as previously identified in SCC’s Historic Environment Character Assessment for this area. Two linear features have been identified within Area 1 of the PDA through analysis of lidar data, and the possibility that these could relate to the infilled ditches of a cursus has been discussed. Although no cropmarks have been identified to support this claim, it should be noted that an assessment of the performance of geophysical survey in the East Midlands concluded that ‘in the Trent Valley and study area as a whole geophysical survey is complimentary to cropmark evidence – i.e. that each method of research detects a slightly different range of archaeological features, and that both need to be used if as full range as possible are to be identified’ (Knight et al. 2007, 27). Notwithstanding this, the geophysical survey that has been undertaken failed to identify any anomalies corresponding with the features visible in the lidar, and so their archaeological significance remains unproven. In Area 2, where cropmarks of a rectangular enclosure and an irregular enclosure have been recorded, a possible rectangular enclosure has also been identified as a result of lidar data analysis. Anomalies corresponding with two sides of this putative enclosure have also been identified by the geophysical survey undertaken as an initial stage of archaeological evaluation for the proposed development, and although these were interpreted as more likely to be geological in nature, it was concluded that an archaeological origin could not be discounted.

Page | 12 Land off Branston Road, Branston, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Heritage Statement

The results of the desk based research and geophysical survey have been submitted to SCC’s Principal Archaeologist as part of the pre-application consultations for the proposed scheme, who has stated that the anomalies identified as a result of the geophysical survey will need to be ‘tested’ by a programme of evaluation trenching which should also include a sample of ‘blank’ areas across the scheme, and if conditions permit, a programme of fieldwalking. Nevertheless, it was further concluded that whilst the area of the scheme possessed archaeological potential, this was not likely to represent a material constraint to development on the site, and therefore the evaluation trenching could be undertaken via a condition on any future planning permission for the scheme. Such works would then inform the need for and scope of any further mitigation. Notwithstanding the above, it was also suggested that the developer might wish to consider undertaking the evaluation at the earliest opportunity, as this could potentially reduce future risk to the project and assist in the design of the scheme, should significant archaeological remains be identified. All of the hedgerows within the PDA qualify as ‘historically important’ under the terms of the Hedgerows Regulations 1997, and it is proposed that these will be retained wherever possible. However, where it is necessary to remove any parts of these hedgerows as part of the development proposals, then there would be a requirement to submit a Hedgerow Removal Notice to the Local Authority, accompanied by a 1:2500 plan depicting the extent of the hedgerow that it is proposed to remove.

In 1854 the 1:2,500 scale was adopted for mapping urban areas and by 1896 it covered the whole of what were considered to be the cultivated parts of Great Britain. The published date given below is often some years later than the surveyed date. Before 1938, all OS maps were based on the Cassini Projection, with independent surveys of a single county or group of counties, giving rise to significant inaccuracies in outlying areas.

A Landmark Information Group Service v47.0 11-Jan-2016 Page 1 of 14 Staffordshire Published 1884 Source map scale - 1:10,560 The historical maps shown were reproduced from maps predominantly held at the scale adopted for England, Wales and Scotland in the 1840`s. In 1854 the 1:2,500 scale was adopted for mapping urban areas; these maps were used to update the 1:10,560 maps. The published date given therefore is often some years later than the surveyed date. Before 1938, all OS maps were based on the Cassini Projection, with independent surveys of a single county or group of counties, giving rise to significant inaccuracies in outlying areas. In the late 1940`s, a Provisional Edition was produced, which updated the 1:10,560 mapping from a number of sources. The maps appear unfinished - with all military camps and other strategic sites removed. These maps were initially overprinted with the National Grid. In 1970, the first 1:10,000 maps were produced using the Transverse Mercator Projection. The revision process continued until recently, with new editions appearing every 10 years or so for urban areas.

These maps are produced from OS's VectorMap Local, a simple vector dataset at a nominal scale of 1:10,000, covering the whole of Great Britain, that has been designed for creating graphical mapping. OS VectorMap Local is derived from large-scale information surveyed at 1:1250 scale (covering major towns and cities),1:2500 scale (smaller towns, villages and developed rural areas), and 1:10 000 scale (mountain, moorland and river estuary areas).
