186. Along the cable route in this area there are two cropmarks indicating potential prehistoric monuments. The first of these is a double ring ditch by Pound Lane to the east of Little Blakenham. A possible Neolithic long barrow is also identified just to the west of Miller’s Wood. Another possible ring ditch was also identified by the geophysical survey. Possible Romano-British activity is suggested by artefacts discovered in the vicinity of by Little Blakenham and more widely within Bramford parish and activity may also lie alongside the B1113 as it corresponds with the Roman route known as Pye Road. The presence of areas of Ancient Woodland in the area of the convertor station location would imply that much of this area was woodland and may have been largely enclosed in the post-medieval period, this idea is supported by the results of the ASE evaluation (2013). As such the potential for medieval or post-medieval remains is considered to be relatively low. Though some later post-medieval field boundaries are likely to be present as indicated by the evaluation and geophysical survey results.
187. The periods of greatest potential are therefore considered to be: • • •
Neolithic (moderate);
Later prehistoric (moderate); and Romano-British (moderate).
1.8.4 Heritage Assets within the ZTV 188. The designated heritage assets of national significance within the ZTV comprise two four Registered Parks and Gardens, firth-two Listed Buildings and a single Scheduled Monuments (Figure 25.13). It is considered that the settings of the majority of these designated assets will not be impacted by the proposed development and, consequently, they have been scoped out of any further assessment.
189. Only the Grade II Listed Figeon’s Farmhouse (LB1293253) was identified to have any significant views incorporating the convertors location.
1.8.5 Assessment of Survival and Previous Impacts 190. Consultation of cartographic and documentary sources suggests that the majority of the development area has remained in a rural environment since at least the medieval period. Consequently, any damage to the potential buried archaeological remains would have been limited to past agricultural practices such as the construction of drainage systems, excavation of ponds and, in particular, ploughing. Some limited modern disturbance occurs along the route where modern roads and trackways are seen.
