NAME Burghclere PARISH Burghclere HUNDRED Evingar DISTRICT Basingstoke and Deane NGR SU 469610 GEOLOGY Plateau gravel SITE CONTEXT Old Burghclere is situated at around 130m OD on gently undulating ground near the foot of the chalk escarpmant to the S. The other areas of settlement lie on undulating land to the N of the older centre. PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION Church/Manor at Old Burghclere; a DMV. Scattered farms and groups of cottages to the N. Old Burghclere is where the church, manor house and manor farm stand with the earthwork remains of the deserted settlement. To the N the settlement pattern is one of dispersal with many farms and small groups of cottages scattered over the parish. AREAS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Old Burghclere, with the remains of the deserted part of the settlement is an AHAP. The limit of the earthworks have not been defined in the field and so the limit of the AHAP is an estimation of their likely extent. In the event of there being a threat to the earthworks, a survey to determine the full extent of the settlement remains will need to be undertaken. The settlement pattern to the N of Old Burghclere is a difficult one on which to define areas of archaeological potential. The second set of maps shows an area of farms and cottages and attempts to highlight the types of areas or features that are of archaeological potential. The short row of cottages includes one of at least C17 date and Coopers Farm is of a similar date. These areas are regarded as being AAPs. It is recognised that further work is required at a much more detailed level thatn the present survey to deal with the archaeological potential of dispersed areas of settlement. The third set of maps shows one of the principal areas of modern settlement where the church is sited. No area of archaeological potential has been designated.
