Description

This DBA has drawn together the available archaeological, historic, topographic and land-use information in order to clarify the extent of any cultural heritage resources on or near the study site. It was carried out by CgMs Consulting on land adjacent to Nuthall Roundabout. The proposed development site is located at Hempshill to the east of Nuthall, The site is approximately 5.9 hectares (14.5 acres). A site visit and walkover survey was undertaken by CgMs on 18 March 2008. The report contains a map regression exercise and modern photos. This assessment has established that, since the 11th century, Hempshill was the site of a small hamlet (recorded as a deserted medieval village on the HER) and a church. The exact location of these monuments is unknown, although it has been suggested that they were subsumed by the Hempshill Vale housing estate, which was built in the 1970s, prior to PPG16. If this is the case, it is fair to assume that, since the 11th century, the proposed development site has been utilised as farmland and possibly parkland associated with Hempshill Hall and farm. There is some potential for the southern part of the site (particularly area 2) to contain the remains of a medieval mill that were documented in 1677, although this may have been destroyed by the construction of the A610 road”.
