Description
“The aim of the desk-based assessment was to consider the wealth and potential of archaeolog-ical and historical sites encompassed by the 44km by 1km assessment site. As a result, possible areas of
archaeological significance requiring further investigation are at Scarthing Moor, Scarcliffe,
Moorhouse, Laxton and Glapwell Ridge where the proposed line of pylons crosses close to pre-historic
findspots. The sites of Sookholme Bath (Roman tile kiln) and King’s Stand Farm may prove to be
significant Roman sites.
In terms of later archaeology and historical sites, the DMV at Nettleworth and the post-medieval
shrunken village to the south of Laxton are also of potential importance. The assessment of im-pacts
caused by the refurbishment of the overhead electricity line also considers the likelihood of earthwork
features relating to manorial estates and deer parks, particularly at Pleasley Park. Although few
archaeological excavations have been undertaken in the area, much of the pylon route is rela-tively
sterile in terms of known and potential archaeology and it is suggested that there need only be
mitigation or limited intrusive archaeological work at sites mentioned above, as part of Phases 2 and
3 of the project”.
The report contains an in depth discussion of each archaeological periods and a map regression exercise. A comprehensive list of documentary sources were consulted to inform this report.
