This report was commissioned by Edward Cooper Young Chartered Surveyors who wish to construct a care home on land to the South of Uffington Road, Stamford.
In line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, the developer is required to submit an appropriate Heritage Statement and Archaeological Impact Assessment describing the significance and setting of any heritage assets affected. This report is that Heritage Statement and Archaeological Impact Assessment.
The proposed development area (PDA) is roughly rectangular in shape, with existing light industrial buildings to the north and truncated by a footpath at its western end, the majority of which is currently scrub land. At its widest points the site measures c.271m (east-west) by c.123m (north-south) giving an approximate area of 2.64 hectares. The area upon which the care home will be constructed is c.100m by 40m, parallel with the small lane running north-west/ south-east to the Hudds Mill (DLI7751), to the west of the site.
The Archaeological Impact Assessment demonstrated that there are no known designated assets within the proposed redevelopment area itself, nor the footprint of the care home. There is one non-designated heritage asset, a 17th century canal lock door which was found by contractors working at the Borough Sewage Works (DLI7751). The base of the canal was lined with blue clay and sherds of 17th century slipped ware were found. The canal was backfilled and levelled off in the late 19th century. This Asset is within the old sewage works and nothing is currently extant on the site, however, any excavation of the surrounding area and known canal route would need to take this previous discovery into account.
Aerial photographs and cartographic analysis demonstrates that the PDA has been subject to multiple phases of industrial development in the modern period; mining, the construction (and subsequent demolition) of a large sewage works and construction of a light industrial complex. No archaeological features were clearly evident within the PDA during a site visit, although a noticeable slope towards the allotments east of the site may indicate the presence of former building platforms.
Any buried archaeological remains identified beneath the proposed redevelopment area, would offer an opportunity to address research priorities highlighted in the recent East Midlands Updated Research Agenda and Strategy (Knight, Vyner and Allen 2012). Although this desk-based assessment suggests a low potential for buried archaeology within the PDA, the client should consult further with Lincolnshire County Council to ascertain whether additional mitigation is required in the form of a site investigation.

______6 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Site Background
1.1.1 This report was commissioned by Edward Cooper Young Chartered Surveyors as part of the planning consultation process for a proposed care home development.
1.1.2 In line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (see Section 3 below), where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, the developer is required to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment describing the significance of any heritage assets affected (including any contribution made by their setting) and, where necessary, a field evaluation.
1.1.3 This report therefore provides an assessment of the archaeological potential of the proposed care home site at Uffington Road, Stamford, Lincolnshire. The report contains an assessment of the potential significance of heritage assets at the site, impacts upon this significance and recommendations. In addition to this assessment, there is a current planning application (S15/1477) under consultation relating to areas surrounding the care home.
1.1.4 A study area centred on TF 04194 07478, has been designated as a wider study area in order to assess any impacts upon the setting of heritage assets within a 1km radius of the site.
1.2 Site Topography and Geology
1.2.1 The site is located roughly 1 mile to the east of the town of Stamford, immediately south of the Uffington Road (Figures 1 and 2).
1.2.2 The northern side of the site is bounded by Uffington Road (A16). Located to the west of the Proposed Development Area (PDA) are sewage works and a dismantled railway. To the south of the PDA is the River Welland, with allotments and scrub land located to the east. The surrounding area was investigated during the DBA carried out by Trent & Peak Archaeology in 2014 (Humphreys 2014); the proposed care home site is located to the south-west of the development discussed within this document (Ibid.) and covers a smaller area. The PDA is roughly rectangular in shape, with existing light industrial buildings to the north and truncated by a footpath its western end, the majority of which is currently scrub land. At its widest points the site measures c.271m (east-west) by c.123m (north-south) giving an approximate area of 2.64 hectares. The area upon which the care home will be constructed is c.100m by 40m, parallel with the small lane extending to the south east of Hudds Mill, located to the west of the site.
1.2.3 The 1: 50,000 British Geological Mapping shows that site is situated on a bedrock geology of Lower Lincolnshire Limestone. This is a Sedimentary Bedrock formed approximately 168 to 172 million years ago in the Jurassic Period. Overlying, superficial deposits consist of sands and gravels (river terrace deposits), formed approximately 3 million years ago during the Quarternary Period (http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html).
1.2.4 To the south of the site, adjacent to the River Welland, the overlying superficial soils of the floodplain comprised clay loam, floodplain soils. To the north of the river, the soil becomes an acidic, peaty composition (www.landis.org.uk/soilscapes).
1.2.5. Topographically the site exhibits a slight incline from east to west. The site is located roughly at a height of c.26-31m AoD. Beyond the site to the east and south (floodplain) the land drops off sharply. Light industrial structures are found to the north which would share the pre-existing access road to the development.

2.1 Assessment Methodology
2.1.1 The archaeological potential of the study area was assessed using the following methods.
2.1.2 Lincolnshire Historic Environment Record The Lincolnshire and Peterborough City Historic Environment Records (HER), held by Lincolnshire County Council and Peterborough City Council respectively, were consulted for any relevant data for the proposed redevelopment site and study area including recent fieldwork reports (grey literature). The Historic Environment Record holds records on both non-designated heritage assets, and designated heritage assets that are also recorded by the NMR including Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Scheduled Ancient Monuments. A comprehensive record of previous archaeological events is also maintained and this links to unpublished reports which are held in the HER library.
2.1.3 National Monument Record Database (Including National Mapping Programme and Heritage Gateway) Information from the English Heritage database of archaeological sites, comprising over 400,000 records, including the Pastscapes website, along with other heritage evidence held on the on-line Heritage Gateway was consulted. The NMR Heritage List for England holds records on designated heritage assets that are also recorded by the NMR including Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Scheduled Ancient Monuments.
2.1.4 Air Photographs Air-photographs held in the Trent & Peak Archaeology library, collated during earlier scoping exercises of the archaeological potential of the original and new routes of the A46, were consulted.
2.1.5 PAS Website The Portable Antiquities Scheme website, an online list of mostly metal detector finds reported to PAS Finds Liaison Officers, was consulted for any finds recorded within the study area. None were recorded.
2.1.6 Documentary & Cartographic Sources A search was made for relevant published works, maps and documents held at the Lincolnshire County Council and the Trent & Peak Archaeology Library. A cartographic date range of 1600 to 1975 was obtained.
2.1.7 Site Visit The Study area was subject to a field inspection on the 23rd September 2015. Notes and photographs were taken to record conditions and any visible features of archaeological significance.
2.1.8 Geological Information (Boreholes) In order to determine, ground conditions, including strata type and depth and approximate bearing capabilities of the strata, geotechnical works have previously been carried out on the wider development site (Humphreys 2014).

______9 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( 3. PLANNING POLICY STATEMENTS RELATING TO ARCHAEOLOGY
3.1. National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
3.1.1. In March 2012 the Department for Communities and Local Government published the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). This replaced PPS5: Planning for the Historic Environment. However, the PPS5 Practice Guide remains a valid and Government endorsed document pending the results of a review of guidance supporting national planning policy.
3.1.2. Section 12 of NPPF (Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment) states; Local planning authorities should set out in their Local Plan a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment including heritage assets most at risk through neglect, decay or other threats. In doing so they should recognise that heritage assets are an irreplaceable resource and conserve them in a manner appropriate to their significance (para.126).
3.1.3. In regard to planning applications paragraph 128 states; Local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance.
3.1.4. In submitting applications; As a minimum the relevant historic environment record should have been consulted and the heritage assets assessed using appropriate expertise where necessary.
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.
3.1.5 The PPS 5 practice guide states that: (70). Where a desk-based assessment does not provide sufficient evidence for confident prediction of the impact of the proposal, it may be necessary to establish the extent, nature and importance of the asset’s significance through on-site evaluation. This document is the required desk-based assessment.
3.1.6 In determining planning applications it is recommended that in regard to •! Designated Heritage Assets, Substantial harm to or loss of a Grade II listed building, park or garden should be exceptional. Substantial harm to or loss of designated heritage assets of the highest significance, notably scheduled monuments, protected wreck sites, battlefields, Grade I & II* listed buildings, Grade I & II* registered parks and gardens, and World Heritage Sites, should be wholly exceptional (para.132).
Where a proposed development will lead to substantial harm to or total loss of significance of a designated heritage asset, local planning authorities should refuse consent, unless it can be demonstrated that the substantial harm or loss is necessary to achieve substantial public benefits that out weight that harm or loss (para. 133).
•! Non-designated Heritage Assets.
‘In weighing applications that affect directly or indirectly non-designated heritage assets, a balanced judgement will be required having regard to the scale of any harm or loss and the significance of the heritage asset’ (para. 135).
______10 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! (
3.1.7. In regard to applications it recommends to local planning authorities that;
‘They should also require developers to record and advance understanding of the significance of any heritage assets to be lost (wholly or in part) in a manner proportionate to their importance and the impact, and to make this evidence (and any archive generated) publicly accessible’ (para 141).
In addition note 30 states;
‘[...] copies of evidence should be deposited with the relevant Historic Environment Record, and any archives with a local museum or other public depository [...]’
Note: - In NPFF Annexe 2.
Heritage assets = A building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest. Heritage asset includes designated heritage assets and assets identified by the local planning authority including local listing.
Designated heritage assets = a world heritage site, scheduled monument, listed building, protected wreck site, registered park and garden, registered battlefield or conservation area designated under the relevant legislation.
Archaeological interest = There will be archaeological interest in a heritage asset if it holds, or potentially may hold, evidence of past human activity worthy of expert investigation at some point. Heritage assets with archaeological interest are the primary source of evidence about the substance and evolution of places and the people and cultures that made them.
Significance (for heritage policy) = The value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. That interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Significance derives not only from heritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting.
3.2 Setting
Setting Policy and Guidance
3.2.1 Setting Policy: The definition of setting As defined in the PPS5 Practice Guide, setting is the surroundings in which an asset is experienced (CLG/DCMS/EH 2010, 34). In the document, Conservation Principles: Policy and Guidance (English Heritage 2008), it is noted that ‘places where significance stems essentially from the coherent expression of their particular cultural heritage values can be harmed by interventions of a radically different nature’ (English Heritage 2008, 58). The latest statement on Setting is the English Heritage document The Setting of Heritage Assets (English Heritage, 2011). This document refers to the practice guide for PPS5 and, in particular, the statement: ‘All heritage assets have a setting, irrespective of the form in which they survive and whether they are designated or not. Elements of a setting may make a positive or negative contribution to the significance of an asset, may affect the ability to appreciate that significance, or may be neutral’ (CLG/DCMS/EH 2010, 34).
3.2.2 Setting Assessment Criteria Paragraphs 114-117 of the PPS5 practice guide (CLG/DCMS/EH 2010, 34) consider setting extensively. In line with this guidance, criteria by which existing setting and change to
______11 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( setting will be judged as making a positive, negative or neutral contribution to the setting of an asset are:
• View: the views to and from an asset will play an important part in the way in which we experience an asset.
• Environmental factors: setting is influenced by environmental factors such as noise, dust and vibration.
• Spatial associations and our understanding of the historic relationship between places: Buildings that are in close proximity but not visible from each other may have a historic or aesthetic connection that amplifies the experience of the significance of each. They would be considered to be within one another’s setting. Importantly, the perceived extent of a setting may change as an asset and its surroundings evolve or as understanding of the asset improves. Also, the setting of a heritage asset can enhance its significance whether or not it was designed to do so. .
• Public appreciation: Finally, it is stated that the contribution that setting makes to the significance of an asset does not depend on there being public rights or an ability to access or experience that setting. Evaluation of the effect of change within the setting of a heritage asset will usually need to consider the implications, if any, for public appreciation of its significance.
3.3 Other considerations
3.3.1 Scheduled Monuments Scheduled Monuments, as defined under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act (1979) are sites, which have been selected by a set of non-statutory criteria to be of national importance. These criteria comprise period, rarity, documentation, group value, survival/condition, fragility/vulnerability, diversity and potential. Where scheduled sites are affected by development proposals there is a presumption in favour of their physical preservation. Any works, other than activities receiving class consent under The Ancient Monuments (Class Consents) Order 1981, as amended by The Ancient Monuments (Class Consents) Order 1984, which would have the effect of demolishing, destroying, damaging, removing, repairing, altering, adding to, flooding or covering-up a Scheduled Monument require consent from the Secretary of State for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.
3.3.2 Listed Buildings/Structures Buildings of national, regional or local historical and architectural importance are protected under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act, 1990. Buildings designated as ‘Listed’ are afforded protection from physical alteration or effects on their historical setting.
3.3.2.1 As of 2011 English Heritage guidance defines all Listed buildings as of some ‘national importance and special interest’ (http://www.englishheritage.org.uk/caring/listing/listed-buildings).
3.3.3 Hedgerows Hedgerows of historic importance are afforded protection under The Hedgerow Regulations 1997, section 97 of the Environment Act 1995 (coming into effect in 1997). Any hedgerow which is defined as being of historical or ecological importance may require consent from the local planning authority prior to removal.
3.3.4 Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Standards and Guidance for Archaeological Desk-Based Assessments
______12 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( 3.3.5 This guidance (IfA 2008) is non-statutory guidance representing industry best practice. It is commonly stipulated by local planning authorities that archaeological work is undertaken to CIfA standards. The CIfA also operates an accreditation scheme of Registered Archaeological Organisations in order to monitor the application of standards across the industry.
3.4. Local Policy: South Kesteven District Council Development Plan Document (DPD)
3.4.1 Stamford is situated within the South Kesteven District Council Local Planning authority. Their ‘Core Strategy’ Development Plan for 2010-2026 (replacing the previous ‘Local Plan’, 1995) asserts that ‘ [4.1.2] The District’s landscape character is not only its topography but is a blend of natural features, biodiversity and man-made structures’. It aims to ‘make sure that development within the District does not compromise the variety and distinctiveness of the existing biodiversity and wider environment (2010:34)’.
3.4.2 With regards to the historic built environment and archaeology of the district, it acknowledges that ‘[4.1.6]…South Kesteven has a rich heritage of buildings, archaeological remains and countryside. It boasts an attractive and varied landscape. The historic fabric of the towns, villages and individual buildings, archaeological features, historic parks and gardens, as well as their settings and the wider landscape all need to be recognised, understood and conserved. This high quality natural and built environment could suffer if the needs of development are met without taking steps to safeguard these finite resources (2010:35).’
[5.1.5] All potential sites which are located in accordance with the spatial strategy (set out in Policies SP1 and SP2) will be assessed against the following criteria: •! Availability •! Ability to maximise the use of public transport, cycling and pedestrian links and/or •! to create opportunities for improved accessibility (as set out in policy SP3) •! Access to, and capacity of appropriate existing services and infrastructure to •! support development •! Potential impact on wildlife sites, protected species, biodiversity, historic assets, archaeology, water quality, landscape character, TPO’s and open spaces (as set out in Policy EN1) •! Ability of existing built form to absorb/accommodate new development •! Visual impact of development on the surrounding landscape •! Known constraints to a sites development such as flood risk (as set out in Policy •! EN2); presence of underground utilities infrastructure.
In determining which sites will be allocated following this assessment process, detailed regard will be given to the actual amount of land which needs to be provided in each settlement, the balance (in terms of numbers and locations of sites) and range of suitable sites available and the cumulative impact that one or more sites may have on that part of the settlement (2010:48).
______13 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( 4. BASELINE DATA
4.1. Known Heritage Assets within the redevelopment area N.B. Due to the nature of the data held by the National Monuments Record (NMR) and local Historic Environment Record offices, there may be some duplication between the designated and non-designated records. Where possible this duplication has been eliminated but some small overlaps may still remain.
4.1.1 Previous Archaeological Events Within the care home PDA, there are no recorded previous archaeological events. The non-designated heritage asset within the proposed development area (MLI30706) listed below, like the rest of the illustrate area, remains unexplored archaeologically.
4.1.1.1 Geotechnical Works Humphreys (2014) references geotechnical works previously undertaken on site. These works tested for ground conditions, including strata type and depth, approximate bearing capabilities in the strata.
4.1.1.2 Within the geotechnical works, 17 boreholes were taken using the window sampling method. From these boreholes 6 sections were modelled across the site of the care home. The average depth of made ground was found to be 4-5m in depth, with some areas being up to 7m. Boreholes WS3 -17 illustrate clearly that the area has a large amount of modern back fill, with evidence of rubble, ash, pottery , glass and modern plastics. Plastics were present to a depth of 4.8m.
4.1.1.3 Where present the topsoil was seen to be a c.0.5-0.8 m thick black, sandy clayey silt with organic matter present, mainly concentrated to the north-western area of the site. This overlaid a stiff brown clay and mudstone.
4.1.1.4 Where there was no topsoil, a made ground of dark brown sandy clay was present. The modelled sections show that this decreases from the south at c.4m, to the north at c.2m. The deepest made ground shown in the section, is in the centre of the site where due to quarrying it is c.6.5m.
4.1.2. Designated Heritage Assets Within the proposed site of the care home, there are no designated heritage assets. However to the south-west there is a designated heritage asset, which directly borders the site; the Grade II listed Hudds Mill (DLI7751) and its associated mill house building (Plate 1).
4.1.3. Non-Designated Heritage Assets Within the limits of the PDA, there is one recorded non-designated heritage asset (MLI30706); a 17th century canal located at the western end of the site (TF 0423 0747). This lock would have allowed access to the River Welland. The feature was found by contractors working at the Borough Sewage Works and was seen to have a base lined with blue clay. Within this clay bottom, sherds of 17th century slipped ware were found. The canal was backfilled and levelled off in the late 19th century.
4.1.4 The findspot of a 17th century lock door is positioned within the limits of the old sewage works and nothing is visible at present on the site. However excavation of the surrounding area and known canal route would need to take this previous find into account.
4.1.5 Outside of the southern limit of the site, two non-designated heritage assets are referenced within the local record. The first, Wandsford Paper Mill (MLI30786), is referenced only in a single, secondary documentary source (Birch, 1972) with no extant remains to suggest its location. The second is a find spot of Midland blackware sherds
______14 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( and 17th century clay pipes (MLI30753). These were recovered from flood eroded sandbanks on the opposite bank of the River Welland.
4.1.6 Just beyond the north-east extent of the proposed development area a possible prehistoric cropmark was observed (MLI36693) as part of the National Mapping Programme (TF0407). The area is currently used as a football field and no exploratory work has been carried out on site.
4.2. Known Heritage Assets beyond the redevelopment area
4.2.1 Previous Archaeological Events (Figure 3) Within the 1km study area, 76 previous archaeological events are recorded by the Lincolnshire HER (Figure 3). The majority of these are, as with the designated and non designated assets outlined below, considered to be within the historic core of Stamford and therefore only listed in Appendix A below.
4.2.1.1 A number of archaeological events are centred on the site of St Leonards Priory. Several trial trenches were excavated within the priory site (ELI9722, DLI666), coupled with field observation of the site (ELI10319, ELI10318) and a further watching brief (ELI9722) on the stable buildings. Trial trenching has also been recorded to the north of the proposed development area of Gwash Valley Business Park (ELI7743) during substantial redevelopment works and to the east at the Uffington Estate (ELI251) along with field walking (ELI509).
4.2.1.2 Field observation has been carried out on the Grade II listed building of Hudd’s Mill (DLI7751) and Mill House, Stamford and Rutland General Infirmary (ELI10232), and The New College, Stamford (ELI8692, ELI8693, ELI8694).
4.2.1.3 Watching Briefs are recorded for Greyfriar’s Gatehouse (ELI11425), Stamford Endowed Schools (ELI5563), Stamford School Sports Centre (ELI10537).
4.2.1.4 Non intrusive geophysical survey (magnetometry and resistivity) has been carried out at New College Stamford (ELI8693, ELI6764).
4.2.2. Designated Heritage Assets (Figure 4) Stamford was the first conservation area to be designated in England and Wales under the Civic Amenities Act 1967. This led to the whole of the old town and St Martin's being made an outstanding area of architectural and historic interest, of national importance.
4.2.2.1 The 1km study area encompasses the north-eastern area of Stamford’s historic core, which includes over 600 listed buildings. Within this 1km study area there are 40 listed buildings, 5 scheduled monuments and 1 historic park/garden.(For a full list of all designated heritage assets within the 1km study area, please refer to Appendix B). Of the 40 listed buildings not covered by discussion below, all are Grade II listed.
4.2.2.2 As noted above, the closest designated heritage asset to the proposed development area is the Grade II listed building of Hudds Mill (DLI7751) and its associated mill house (plate 1).The care home may be visible from these properties; however their current setting has been highly compromised by the existing sewage treatment works (plate 3). As the site sits now, with light industrial, scrub, and rubbish deposits, attributed to the sewage works, the construction of the care home will improve the aesthetic value of the area. (plate 2).
4.2.2.3 Four scheduled ancient monuments (SAM) are present within the 1km study area. Firstly C.200m to the west of the proposed care home, are the ruins of St Leonard’s Priory (DLI666). The only surviving features are parts of the transitional west front and northern arcade of the church. An associated Grade II farmhouse (DLI8101) is also listed.
______15 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( At present the area is surrounded by a level of tree screening and contains a number of new developments including a large Volkswagen garage and Morrison’s supermarket.
4.2.2.4 The site of Brasenose Medieval college (MLI30625, DLI894), demolished in 1882, is the second SAM in the 1km area. Attributed to this is the Brasenose gate and wall also listed as a SAM (DLI318), which is the only surviving part of the college and hence has Grade I listed status. These are centred on TF 0337 0731, c.800m from the proposed care home.
4.2.2.5 The final SAM (DLI316), Whitefriars Gate, lies on the eastern edge of Stamford c.520m from the edge of the development area, representing the only upstanding remains of the 14th century friary on the site.
4.2.2.6 A single registered Parks and Gardens area falls within the study area. This is Burghley House and Gardens (1000359), the periphery of which is located c.460m south of the development area. The 16th century house itself is Grade II* listed, but this falls outside of the study area and is located behind a dense screen of trees (plates 4-5). A Grade II listed stone cross (R01/517) is immediately north-east of cricket ground within the gardens.
4.2.3. Non-Designated Heritage Assets (Figures 5 and 6) Within the 1km study area for non-designated heritage assets, the Lincolnshire HER records 192 non-designated heritage assets, although some of these heritage assets have no physical form (i.e. they are documentary references or denote surface finds that have now been removed from the study area). There is typically some duplication with NMR designated heritage assets.
4.2.3.1 The non-designated heritage assets can be broken down by period and type to give a crude impression of the main phases of human activity (or at least the exploration of these phases of human activity) in the study area:
4.2.3.2 Prehistory Artefact scatters (MLI35077, MLI35078, MLI35079) have been discovered across Uffington Golf Course. These contain flints with a date range from the Mesolithic through to the Bronze Age.
4.2.3.3 Iron Age activity off Barnack Road (MLI39044) sits adjacent to a system of undated ring ditches (MLI39047, MLI39046, MLI35450, MLI39045), a prehistoric enclosure (MLI36471) and a pit alignment (MLI36472). These are directly south of the proposed development area, south of the River Welland, suggesting farming or settlement activity close to the water source and floodplain. Some cropmark activity (MLI36693) has also been recorded to the south-east of Newstead which may have a prehistoric date.
4.2.3.4 Roman The Roman road of Ermine Street runs through the centre of Stamford, placing the PDA in proximity of a route from London to Lincoln. A possible farmstead (identified by earthworks, MLI36827) is situated to the east of Newstead Mill and further evidence of Roman activity off Barnack Road (MLI39045). An artefact scatter was also recorded to the north-east of the Stamford historic core adjacent to Conduit Road (MLI30685).
4.2.3.5 Early Medieval Established as a borough in AD 972, Stamford is known to have flourished during the Early Medieval period. It remained the only one of the five Danelaw Boroughs not to become a county town. The Early Mercian settlement is thought to have been located to the north of the River Welland, close to what is now bounded by Bath Row, Castle Dyke and Castle Street. The Danish borough expanded the settlement to the east, as well as controlling the points used for river crossing immediately to the south. Within the 1km
______16 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( study area a Saxon cemetery (MLI30676) now lies beneath a modern warehouse development, just north of Uffington Road, opposite the PDA.
4.2.3.6 Medieval Medieval Stamford was well known for its production of wool and woollen cloth. The town grew substantially during this period and contains a number of surviving medieval structures. Those listed as designated heritage assets will not be discussed in detail here but can be found in Appendix B. On the outskirts of the historic core, evidence of pottery kilns which may date to the Medieval period have been recorded on the site of Stamford School (MLI30732).
4.2.3.7 Medieval activity is also present in the surrounding rural areas. To the south-west of the proposed development area, near Barnack Road (MLI39046), there is recorded evidence of medieval agriculture. Artefact scatters from Uffington Golf Course (MLI34869) contain medieval ceramics, alongside the remains of ridge and furrow field systems.
4.2.3.8 Alongside the remaining medieval structures, the grounds of St Leonard’s Priory contain contemporary quarry pits, ditches and postholes (MLI38947) with further archaeological evidence (MLI30613) also remaining to the north at White Friars.
4.2.3.9 Post Medieval and Modern Few Post Medieval non-designated assets are recorded outside of the Stamford Historic Core. The Stamford Union Workhouse (MLI90083) was located on Barnack Road, with a second workhouse and hospital located on Ryhall Road (MLI90084). No other significant non-designated heritage assets are located outside of the town and within the 1km study area
4.2.3.10 The non-designated heritage assets are fully summarised in Appendix C.
4.2.4 Peterborough City Council HER records (Figure 6) The area south of the Barnack Road falls into the jurisdiction of Peterborough HER. In total, 19 entries were recorded, 13 of which provided chronological information. Of the 6 chronologically ambiguous sites, all relate to earthwork features (00362, 00036e, 50004, 50006, 50008) including a ring ditch (00036c) similar to those on the northern side of Barnack Road.
4.2.4.1 Two Bronze Age cremation burials, alongside other funerary items, were found c.900m south-east of the proposed development area. An Iron Age enclosure and pit alignment (00021) lie to the south of the Bronze Age features (00036d, 00022), with a second pit alignment to the east (00036a) as part of the Barnack Gravel Pit. Evidence of Medieval agriculture is present in recorded ridge and furrow (9879, 50007), identified both on the ground and from aerial photography. The most recent feature is a single Post Medieval enclosure (50005) identified from aerial photographs of the site.
4.2.4.2 Peterborough HER’s heritage assets are fully summarised in Appendix D.
4.3. Aerial Photographic Analysis
4.3.1 Detailed aerial photographic analysis had not previously been undertaken with regards to the PDA and study area (with the exception of records made by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England).
4.3.2 Available from the English Heritage archives were 33 aerial photographs, captured between 1947-1995.
4.3.3 The earliest photograph (January 1947; RAF_CPE_UK_1932_RP_3064) from the archive shows the proposed development area with the large sewage treatment works
______17 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( visible on the far eastern end of the site and the limestone quarry in the centre. Away from the PDA but within the wider study area, there are no visible cropmarks or earthworks. A possible circular crop mark was identified to the east of the proposed development area on land used for sports recreation (August 1995; OS_95666_U_158; OS_95666_159).
4.3.4 The use of the site can be seen to vary over time. The sewage works visible in the 1947 photograph are still present in March 1973 (MAL_73008_V_097), having been extended between 1951 (November 1951; RAF_540630_RS_4055) and October 1965 (MAL_65092_V_164). The quarry is no longer visible on site by 1973 (February 1973; MAL_73004_V_093) with the modern light industrial complex to the north beginning to take shape. By April 1984 (OS_84103_V_005) the sewage works has also disappeared from the site, leaving the proposed development area in a similar layout to its current condition; a building is present on the site of the current Volkwagen showroom and garage to the north-west with turf covering the quarry site.
4.4. Cartographic Analysis
4.4.1 A wide variety of historic maps that depict the proposed redevelopment area and the wider study area have been recovered during consultation of the Lincolnshire Archives and the Trent & Peak Archaeology Library. A cartographic date range of 1600 to 1975 was obtained. Additionally three prospects, dating from 1719 to 1743, were present. These and the maps are now discussed below in chronological order, where key changes are noted the maps are depicted. There is no Tithe map.
4.4.2 Early Evidence The earliest map depicting historic Stamford is Mr Speed’s Draught of Stamford (1600). The map depicts the settlement of Stamford but does not extend as far east as the proposed development area. The map depicts a ‘Black Friars’ and ‘Grey Friars’ but no ‘White Friars’ or St Leonards Priory, indicating that the map only covers the very western periphery of the 1km study area. Tilleman’s Prospect from 1719 (Peck 1727) and Buck’s prospect (1943) both depict the historic town core from the south side (looking northwards). Neither extends eastwards to cover the proposed development area, but they illustrate that 18th century Stamford did not extend to the development area and show the land to be mostly likely agricultural in use. A further prospect from Peck’s annals (1727), looking towards the south-west side of the town from Worthorp, shows the extent of the town as far as the White Friars. It shows the use of land between Worthorp Warren and Stamford as largely pasture or common land.
4.4.3 Knipe’s Map (1833) Knipe’s map shows an expanded Stamford, with urban growth as far east as the site of Grey Friars, along St Leonard’s street as far as what is now Brazenose Lane. The town is bounded by the infant school and North street chapel in the north, the site of the Augustine Friary to the west, whilst urban development continues off of the bottom edge of the map to the south along High Street.
4.4.4 The proposed development is not shown directly on the map, however Barnack Road and the fields to its immediate south are present. They appear to be used for arable farming.
4.4.5 OS Map First Edition 1882, 1:2500 (Figure 7) The ruins of St Leonard’s priory are visible to the west of the proposed development site, which is bounded by a now disused, light railway which branched from the main Stamford Line (London and North-Eastern Railway; Essendine and Stamford) and ran to the Rutland Works, continuing to the north. The River Welland follows its present course below the PDA with Hudd’s Mill indicated. The access footpath to Hudd’s Mill bisects the western end of the PDA as it does now with the eastern end bounded by a field system.
______18 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( 4.4.6 The canal exposed by previous excavations at the site (lock gate doors (DLI7751), see above) can be seen running along the southern boundary of the proposed development area.
4.4.7 The limestone quarry, visible on the aerial photographs from 1947 onwards, is depicted in the centre of the PDA, with a limeworks noted to the north-west.
4.4.8 The majority of the site is unoccupied, with a small number of buildings to the west.
4.4.9 OS Map 1st revision 1905 1:2500 The 1905 OS Map shows little change from 1882. The route of the canal is less clear and a number of trees have been cleared from the main road to the north of the site (now Uffington Road).
4.4.10 OS Map 1930 1:2500 (Figure 8) The 1930 OS map shows a dramatic change from the OS 1905 map, across the proposed development site. The canal has been backfilled and the fields to the east designated as allotments; their current use.
4.4.11 The large sewage works has been constructed with three filter bed tanks to the west of Hudd’s Mill access lane. It covers almost all of the area to the west of the lane with associated tanks, described as ‘sludge lagoons’ located on the main eastern section of the proposed development area. These appear to be located within the area and to the north of the limestone quarry.
4.4.12 To the west of the site, a number of buildings have been constructed along the Uffington Road. The lime works has expanded significantly, with a number of kilns recorded in detail.
4.4.13 OS Map 1950 (1:2500) The 1950 OS map shows little change at the western end of the proposed development area, with the three large filter beds still in place. However, the sludge lagoons have been removed from the quarry area, which itself is still visible, although smaller in size.
4.4.14 There are no other significant changes to the site or the surrounding area.
4.4.15 OS Map 1971 (1:2500) (Figure 9) 1971 OS revision illustrates a significant expansion of the sewage works. The large drying beds remain, with a building constructed to the north (identified as Virginia Cross). The eastern portion of the proposed development area is now covered with composting and drying beds, as well as secondary filter beds, with sludge lagoons adjacent to the allotments which mark the end of the site. The quarry appears to have been backfilled, as no slope is illustrated, however, south of the sewage works, the site is shown to slope downwards towards the river. To the immediate north of the PDA, the light industrial buildings, still present on the modern site, have been constructed. These are described as a builders yard and factory.
4.4.16 To the north-west, the lime works are now recorded as a disused quarry site, with the accompanying railways also marked as disused. Directly opposite the proposed development area, across Uffington Road, a wool warehouse and transport depot have been constructed.
______19 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( 4.5. Landscape Character
4.5.1 No formal Historic Landscape Characterisation data was provided for the proposed redevelopment area.
4.5.2 The proposed development area is of a homogenous character; however there is some variation in the character of the surrounding area.
4.5.3 The proposed development lies outside of the Stamford historic core and, as is evident from the map analysis above, has been altered extensively during the modern period the PDA could presently be classed as light industrial development with no significant historic importance.
4.5.4 To the south-east, the estate of Burghley House is an English Heritage Registered Area of Parks and Gardens (1000359). The periphery of these lie within the 1km study area although their setting is unlikely to be affected by the proposed development due to the local topography and tree screening.
4.5.5 The cluster of non designated heritage assets (earthworks and historic agricultural evidence) immediately south of the proposed development area could be considered an area of heightened archaeological significance; however none of these are currently designated and the landscape remains unexplored.
______20 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( 5. SITE VISIT AND SETTING
5.1 A site visit was undertaken on the 23rd of September 2015 during which the perimeter of the site was assessed, taking into consideration; the ease of access, general condition, setting and impact of the potential development.
5.2 The site is roughly rectangular in shape, bisected by a small public access lane on its western side which connects Uffington Road to the site of Hudds Mill and the River Welland (Plate 1 and Plate 2). At its widest points the site measures c.330m (east-west) by c.80m (north-south) giving an approximate area of 2.64 hectares, the majority of which is currently scrub land (Figure 2).
5.3 The site is accessible by vehicle via a private road associated with the light industrial complex to the north, which provides access from Uffington Road (Figure 2). The eastern portion of the site can be reached by vehicle from a small access lane, bearing south from Uffington Road (Plate 3). There is footpath access around the perimeter of the site.
5.4 The proposed development area is bounded by a steep bank along its southern extent (Plate 4), with allotments to the east, light industry to the north and a sewage plant (Plate 5) to the west. Currently there is a property undergoing renovation on the public access lane to the west of the development (Plate 6).
5.5 Hudds Mill (DLI7751) lies to the south of the proposed development and is separated from the PDA by the steep bank along its southern extent (Plate 7). The Mill has the advantage of natural screenings from the PDA. High fences and hedges within the property and mature tree growth and shrubbery that line the steep bank, obscure a direct view of the proposed care home site; any impact on Hudds Mill will be mitigated by this screening. (Plate 8, Plate 9 and Plate 10) Burghley House (1000359) and its associated gardens are largely obscured (see above 4.2.2). There is evidence for Prehistoric activity to the south of Hudds Mill comprising ring ditches and enclosures. The distance at which the PDA is located and the level of natural screening consisting of pasture and woodland (Plate 11), assures a minimal level of impact on the setting of the Prehistoric features.
5.6 To the north of Uffington Road lies a further light industrial complex. It comprises two sites; a large commercial unit presently in use and another which is for the most part in a poor state of repair and abandonment (Plates 12 and 13). The care home site itself is currently unused and covered by a mix of patches of tarmac and grass. The eastern end of the area is in a poor condition with both natural and discarded man-made debris, covering the surface. The western portion of the site is overgrown scrub land.
5.7 The overall condition of the proposed development area and its immediate environs do not enhance the aesthetics of the area. No archaeological features, such as extant earthworks, were evident within the care home site.

6. PERIOD SYNTHESIS AND THE HERITAGE POTENTIAL OF UFFINGTON ROAD, STAMFORD
6.1 Prehistoric
6.1.1 Whilst no evidence has been recovered from the study area relating to prehistoric activity, evidence from adjacent areas suggests that it was clearly set within an active prehistoric landscape.
6.1.2 During the Mesolithic period (c.9000-c.4000 BC) hunter-gatherer human populations, represented in the archaeological record by worked flint tools, would have inhabited the study area. This is supported by the presence of potentially Mesolithic artefact scatters from Uffington Golf Course. Mesolithic evidence across the East Midlands and indeed Britain is scarce, making these finds of some significance.
6.1.3 Evidence for the succeeding Neolithic period (c.4000-c.2500 BC) is scant; artefact scatters containing Neolithic flints have been recovered from within the study area whilst there is known Neolithic activity, including a causewayed enclosure camp, located outside just outside of the 1Km study area.
6.1.4 During the Bronze Age (c.1150-500 BC), continuing social change reflecting growing hierarchies is evidenced by the adoption of new burial practices, including the barrow burial evident in the present study area. In addition to a pit alignment and artefact scatters, two Bronze Age cremation burials (typical of the period), were found c.900m south-east of the proposed development area. Although they appear not to represent a wider cemetery, these contained a range of grave goods representing a level of wealth; beads, knife, pendant and arm guard.
6.1.5 There is little evidence of Iron Age (c.500 BC) activity within the Stamford area. An enclosure and pit alignment are recorded, just past Barnack Road but no further archaeology has been attributed to this era.
6.1.6 In summary, the prehistoric activity within the study area is largely concentrated to the south of the proposed development area, close to the River Welland. Due to the level of historic activity and development on the proposed development area there is a low possibility of surviving prehistoric archaeology within the area.
6.2 Romano-British
6.2.1 The Romans conquered the midlands of Britain in AD 48 and significant influenced on both the settlement types/patterns and material culture use of the indigenous British population. Despite the construction of Ermine Street across what is now Burghley Park and through the middle of Stamford town, the Roman period (43AD-410AD) is not widely represented within the study area.
6.2.2 Two farmsteads (east of Newstead Mill and adjacent to the River Gwash) and several artefact scatters, show a limited, settled presence within the landscape, but suggest no major population increase from previous periods. No military evidence is noted within the Lincolnshire or Peterborough HER.
6.2.3 On the basis of the limited Roman evidence within the study area, and level of modern construction on the site, the potential for Roman archaeology within the development site is to be considered low.
______22 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( 6.3 Early Medieval (410-1066 AD)
6.3.1 Following the Roman period, the town of Stamford was established as a borough (972 AD). Stamford is known to have flourished during the Early Medieval period, however it remained the only one of the five Danelaw Boroughs not to become a county town. The Early Mercian settlement is thought to have been located to the North of the River Welland, close to what is now bounded by Bath Row, Castle Dyke and Castle Street. The Danish borough expanded this to the east, as well as controlling the points used for river crossing immediately to the south.
6.3.2 Several Saxon sites are present within the study area. The extant ruins of St Leonard's Monastery lie on the eastern periphery of historic Stamford, although evidence for the presence of an Anglo-Saxon phase is disputed and those present date to the medieval period. The presence of a Saxon cemetery, just north of Uffington Road and opposite the proposed development area, indicates that activity did extend east towards the development site.
6.3.3 The level of Saxon activity within the centre of Stamford and the presence of nearby funerary deposits indicate a low to moderate potential for Saxon Archaeology on the site. However, as with early periods, the extent of modern redevelopment reduces this potential.
6.4 Medieval
6.4.1 Stamford prospered under the Normans with an economy based mainly on wool; it was particularly famous for its woven cloth called Haberget. The town's excellent communication routes via the Great North Road and via the River Welland to the North Sea ensured the success of its trade.
6.4.2 By the 13th century Stamford was one of the 10 largest towns in England. It had a castle, 14 churches, 2 monastic institutions, and 4 friaries; Parliaments met here and there was a tradition of academic learning which finally led to the establishment of a short-lived breakaway university in the mid 14th century Whilst a substantial medieval core is present within Stamford itself, the archaeological evidence suggests that the area surrounding the proposed development area was in agricultural use at this time.
6.4.3 Evidence for ridge and furrow cultivation systems, alongside ceramic scatters and pit/post hole alignments, illustrate an area of agricultural character, probably populated by small crofts and farmsteads.
6.4.4 Due to modern redevelopment there is low potential for sub-surface Medieval remains. However, there is a moderate potential for finds, particularly ceramics, of a medieval nature, given the level of activity in the landscape at this time.
6.5 Post-Medieval and Modern
6.5.1 The removal of the main wool trade to East Anglia at the end of the Medieval period forced the town into decline, as the trade became largely concentrated into the hands of rich merchant families. After The Restoration in the mid 17th century, the town recovered as improvements to the Great North Road encouraged road trade and the river was made navigable again by a canal. Stamford became a major stopping point on the journey north, although no significant activity is recorded close to the proposed development area from this period
6.5.2 The arrival of the railways in the mid 19th century steered trade once again away from the town. Two Victorian workhouses were built on the eastern side of the town, reflecting its declining fortunes.
______23 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! (
6.5.3 Cartographic evidence demonstrates that the proposed development area was subject to extensive redevelopment across the 20th century, having previously served as agricultural land and a quarry site.
6.5.4 The development site is bisected by a backfilled post-medieval canal channel, which has previously been found to contain a set of historic lock gates. Any development work which truncates the known canal route should be closely monitored in case of further finds.
6.5.5. There is high potential for the remains of modern activity on the site to be present sub-surface. The significance of these archaeological remains is low. The backfilled canal channel has moderate potential for the production of further post-med./early modern material.
______24 Uffington(Road,(Stamford,(Lincolnshire( ! ( 7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 Statement of Potential
7.1.1 Taking into account the available evidence, there is a low potential for there to be sub-surface archaeological remains predating the modern period present within the PDA.
7.1.2 The development of large scale sewage works across the western extent of the site, and quarrying across the majority of the remaining area, will mostly likely have disturbed or destroyed any pre-existing archaeological material.
7.1.3 Geotechnical works have shown made ground to be present to a depth of over 5m, therefore, deep prehistoric activity should not be ruled out. There is a low level of potential for this.
7.1.4 There is low to moderate potential for dispersed sub-surface finds relating to medieval or post medieval agriculture.
7.2 Statement of Significance
7.2.1 Any buried archaeological remains identified beneath the proposed redevelopment area, would offer an opportunity to address research priorities highlighted in the recent East Midlands Updated Research Agenda and Strategy (Knight, Vyner and Allen 2012),
7.2.2 On the basis of this desk-based assessment, it is suggested that any buried remains dating from the Roman Period onwards, are likely to be of local significance only. The recovery of prehistoric period remains would represent a find of local or regional significance. The significance of the discovery would depend on the coherence of the remains that were recovered and whether the significance of any remains had been reduced by later truncation.
7.2.3 The recovery of post-medieval or early modern finds from the known canal route would be of local significance only.
7.3 Potential Impacts on Significance
7.3.1 The proposed development, comprising reduced level excavation for building foundations and associated drainage/landscaping, has the potential to impact adversely on sub-surface archaeological deposits if they remain.
7.32 It is unlikely that the settling of any heritage assets within the wider study area will be significantly impacted as Hudds Mill is concealed by a level of natural and topographical screening.
7.4 Recommendations
7.4.1 As this desk-based assessment has not been able to provide sufficient evidence for the confident prediction of the impact of the proposed redevelopment, Lincolnshire County Council may decide that it is necessary to establish the extent, nature and importance of the potential asset’s significance through on-site evaluation.
7.4.2 Not all areas within the site may be subject to sub-surface impact. If this can be demonstrated then these areas may not require evaluation.
