Abstract/Summary
Hyder Consulting (UK) Limited has been commissioned by Lightsource Renewable Energy
Limited to prepare a Cultural Heritage Desk-Based Assessment for a proposed Solar PV
Development at Little Morton, Nottinghamshire. The study area includes a 2km radius of the pro-posed development site.
The baseline evidence suggests that the study area has been occupied from the prehistoric
period until the modern day. Features within the study area include a brickwork plan of
field systems, with possible enclosures/ settlements dating to the Roman period, with
origins possibly extending as far back as the Iron Age.
Evidence suggests that the application site continued to be utilised as farmland throughout the
medieval period until the modern day.
There is the potential/risk for the proposed development to impact upon the brickwork plan field
systems remains which are of local/ regional significance (depending on the state of
preservation and presence of enclosures). The potential is, however, limited because of the
small area of excavation associated with the proposed development. The report suggests a geo-physical survey takes place prior to any development to determine the extent of possible archaeolo-gy.
The study includes the results and photographs from a walkover survey which took place on 27/08/2013 and a map regression exercise.
