Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Etheridge, D Bristol : Avon Archaeological Unit, 2005, 25pp, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Avon Archaeological Unit A desk-based assessment was undertaken. The study area was developed in 1947 for as a new vicarage for the parish. With the closure of the church it was probable that the Vicarage was no longer required. The building showed a lack of general maintenance and was of no architectural importance, being a brick built detached house of typical post war design. As the former residence of the Right Reverend Dr. Mervyn Stockwood, it may have had some historical merit. A photographic survey was recommended. Further to the east at the rear of a property, human remains were located, one bone dating to the 4th-7th centuries. It appeared unlikely that this late Roman or early post-Roman cemetery extended into the study area. However there was still potential for previously unknown archaeological remains. [AIP]

No evidence from find spots and archaeological works in the vicinity of the site suggested that archaeological features predating the post-medieval period were present. A large house called 'Rubbles Yate' was shown on maps of the 1780s at the north of the site. Remains of the building were unlikely to have survived as the area had been greatly disturbed. Two houses were present on the site in 1843. It was possible that remains of these buildings survived below ground level.

The manor of Blackswarth itself would seem to have been of at least medieval origin with the manor being handed to St. Augustine's Abbey in 1153. Early cartographic evidence possibly suggested that Blackswarth Road existed from 1769, which, if correct, would have suggested that St. Anthony's Chapel lay within the vicinity or close to the site.

However, it was possible that the material indicated the presence of a separate settlement focus in the immediate vicinity of the site, conceivably within it.

The two small fields in which the site lay were likely to have been created in the early 19th century, when the land between the main village road and the river was increasingly colonised with smallholdings for the expanding industrial workforce. The fields appeared to have been associated with the dwelling Mizpah, to the north. It was probable that the land was open and undeveloped until then, although this was not certain. The stone and earth banks and stone walls within or bounding the site were features of interest in their own right and formed an important part of the site’s character. There were blocked openings in the northern boundary wall relateing to a former pathway. The ruined stone building in the north-west corner of the site was built between 1842 and 1884 and would have been for agricultural or animal use, related to the smallholding. A 19th-century mining map indicated that a lode ran through the site. There was no evidence of workings on the surface within the site, although it was possible that former excavated features had been backfilled. The significance of the apparently excavated area to the east of the site was uncertain, but could have been the result of small scale mining or quarrying related activity. [Au(adp)]

Buried soils, surfaces, culverts or other features at the east end of the road were noted. Reduction of existing levels for the road was unlikely to disturb articulated skeletons. It may have impacted on medieval or post-medieval deposits or features at the east end outside of the former burial ground. The work would disturb post-medieval charnel soil in the area of the former burial ground to the north and west of the war memorial. Excavation for the hard landscaping was projected to impact on medieval or post-medieval deposits at the west end of the area where there were buildings, and also in Broadgate and further east along the north edge of the road. Post-medieval charnel soil in the area of the former burial ground around the war memorial was likely to have been affected, but the development was unlikely to disturb articulated skeletons. [Au]

But given the presence of structures immediately to the north and south, which were dated with reasonable confidence to at least the 15th-century, it was thought that some structure(s) had been present on the site but was no longer present when the detailed mapping of the mid-19th century was carried out. The presence of a door to the churchyard until 1997 was also problematical, as the tithe map showed only the paths to the two entrances that occupied the site.

The site was situated within the historic core of Christchurch, whose origins lay in the Saxon period. The town developed around the Castle and Priory during the medieval period and the site was located within the core Saxon and medieval settlement area. Sixty-nine archaeological sites and find spots ranging in date from prehistoric to post-medieval including 14 Listed buildings and 3 Scheduled Monuments were recorded within the Study Area. The land to the rear of the Kings Arms had not been the subject of significant development activity during the post-medieval period and therefore any below ground deposits present would have had the potential to survive relatively well. Overall, there was a moderate to high potential for the presence of archaeological deposits ranging in date from the later prehistoric through to the post-medieval period. It was possible that the proposed development could have had implications with regards to the setting of two Scheduled Monuments and a number of Listed buildings within the Conservation Area.

The site contained a number of prehistoric barrows and it was proposed to use the woodland adjoining for paintball games. It was proposed to exclude the barrows from these games as they were a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Research suggested that Quomps Copse had formerly been part of an extensive area of common land centred on Sopley Common to the east. This area was clearly much favoured for Bronze Age funerary monuments such as round barrows, with large numbers being scattered in this region. The five conjectured barrows in Quomp Copse were situated on a high ridge overlooking more fertile farmland, a typical favoured site for barrow siting. It was concluded that all five were likely to have been Bronze Age barrows although those at each end seemed to have been enclosed in a bank and a ditch in the post-medieval period for use as tree planting mounds. It was likely that this planting was undertaken in the later 18th or 19th century to enhance the view in that direction from Hurn Court, a substantial post-medieval mansion on the site of a monastic farm. Some minor banks and ditches were also recorded in the area, but these were thought to have been post-medieval features of minor archaeological significance. [Au(adp)]

Archaeological Appraisal Heaton, M Warminster : ASI Heritage Consultants, 2005, 3pp, colour pls, figs Work undertaken by: ASI Heritage Consultants The site was approximately 100m further from the brook than the outer edges of the medieval settlements of Deveral and St. Andrew. As the present village was of 18th century origin, the site was unlikely to have lain within the limits of either of the medieval settlements. Its roadside situation may have been occupied by 18th or 19th century buildings, but had been vacant since 1890 at least. For the last 70 years or so it was used as a car park, but with the benefit of a tarmac surface for probably only the last 30 years and it had been terraced into the natural slope to create two car park levels. These factors suggested that the site was unlikely to have encompassed interpretable in situ remains of medieval or post-medieval occupation and, whilst the existence of prehistoric or Roman remains could not be discounted, its recent history suggested that such remains would have been badly truncated and dissected by vehicle attrition and terracing. It would have been reasonable to conclude therefore that significant archaeological remains were unlikely to have survived within the site. [Au(adp)]

A site visit assessed the visual impact of the proposals upon Scheduled Monuments at the 5 Tips site and a systematic walkover survey of woodland at the Foxhounds site. The walkover survey identified two previously unrecorded archaeological sites that possibly related to earlier landscape organisation and 20th century military training. There was evidence for human activity within the wider area of the Lulworth ranges especially from late prehistory. The Scheduled Monuments located near to the proposed 5 Tips site would be subject to minimal impact from the proposals.

A Report on an Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Wainwright, J Clun : Marches Archaeology, 2005, 18pp, pls, colour pls, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Marches Archaeology A desk-based assessment along the route of a proposed track at Castlett Farm revealed that the site was on the edge of a deserted medieval settlement. Although the cartographic and photographic evidence indicated that no earthworks existed along the route of the track, it was highly likely that they did exist and had perhaps been subject to agrarian improvements. Earth moving operations for the construction of a ménage, which the proposed track was to service, revealed a high density of medieval pottery and suggested that this area was not just utilised for agrarian purposes. Therefore it was highly likely that below ground medieval features and deposits existed in the area of the proposed track. [Au(adp)]

However, the proximity of the line of a possible Roman Road may have indicated activity of this date in the area. A lynchet to the north of the proposed development area appeared to have been medieval or post-medieval in date, however, it may have been formed from earlier activity on the site as part of the boundary appeared to have gone out of use by the date of the tithe map in 1839.

A Report on an Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Wainwright, J Hawkesbury : Sagascan, 2005, 21pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Marches Archaeology A desk-based assessment was carried out on land between Old Town and Long Street, Wotton-under- Edge. The site lay within an area that had been utilised for purposes other than agricultural from the medieval period onwards. Long Street was in existence by the 13th century and although Old Town was not mentioned until 1575 it was likely to have had earlier origins, perhaps as a route between the open field system. The southern part of the study area was within the backlands of buildings fronting onto Long Street and it could not be discounted that remains of the Friary of the Crutched Friars existed in this area. The northern part of the site was probably only utilised for agricultural purposes but buildings fronting onto Old Town and their backlands may have existed here. The eastern part of the study area could have been within plots fronting onto Church Street or Long Street. The development of the town was less certain here but Church Street must have been in existence by the latter part of the medieval period. Therefore medieval features associated with backlands could have been encountered here. A building within the study area was listed as being of 19th century date. However it was probable that this building was constructed in the 18th century. A medieval doorway inserted into a later wall formed part of the western boundary of the site. It was possible that some truncation of the site had taken place during the 19th and 20th centuries especially on the Old Town frontage. [Au(adp)]

The site was located within a Conservation Area in the south of the Stonehouse Peninsula in Plymouth, a settlement which was mentioned in Doomsday, but largely developed with the growth of the Royal Naval docks and victualling yard in the 18th century. This assessment demonstrated that there was low potential for the earlier prehistoric period, although Pleistocene caves and fissures may lay within the site. There was also low potential for finds related to the prehistoric period with no sites or findspots known within Archaeological Investigations Project 2005 Desk-based Assessments South West the study area. Likewise, there were no sites or findspots known for the Romano-British to medieval period and the potential was therefore low for these periods.
