The designated heritage assets within the ZTV are therefore highlighted as theoretically sharing intervisibility with the Site. However, potential intervisibility does not necessarily indicate that the Site forms part of the setting(s) of these designated assets.
62. No World Heritage Sites or Historic Battlefields were identified by the Viewshed Analysis within the ZTV.
1.5.4 Archaeological and Historical Context 63.
The following section provides a brief summary of the archaeological and historical development of the Site and the Study Area, compiled from the sources listed above. The potential for the likelihood of as yet unrecorded archaeological remains within the Site is informed by the consideration of the known heritage assets recorded within the 500m Study Area surrounding the Site, in conjunction with the geology and topography of the area.

The archaeological records obtained from Suffolk HER and other sources are illustrated in Figure 25.1-25.12 and listed in Appendix 25.2.
1.5.4.1 Palaeolithic and Mesolithic 65.
The nature of early prehistoric occupation and activity is that it is peripatetic in nature with seasonal exploitation of resources, such occupation and activity sites are often ephemeral and poorly preserved within the archaeological record. Riverine environments are rich in resources and are often associated with early prehistoric activity. It should be noted that dues to changes in sea-level since the last glaciation that not only will some environments have been more accessible in the past but that due the changing dynamics of such environments deposits may be differently preserved or destroyed.
66.
Suffolk contains some nationally important and significant sites contributing to our understanding of the Lower Palaeolithic due to its location at the limits of the ice sheets (Austin 1997, 5). Much of the Palaeolithic material is however located within specific geological deposits such as river terrace gravels and glacial tills and material is often found in secondary contexts (ibid.). Within the Study Area there are two records of Palaeolithic material, that of some Palaeolithic remains and features recorded in 1972 (WA568) and some possible Palaeolithic material located during early 20th century excavations at Coe’s Pit (WA543), both within the parish of Bramford, near the western end of the route.
