This report presents the results of an archaeological desk-based assessment of Land to the rear of 1 Owthorpe Road, Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire. It has been prepared to assess the potential impacts, if any, arising from proposed development. The site is located in the southern part of Nottinghamshire, approximately 8.5km south-east of Nottingham city centre. It is situated on the south side of Risegate, an historic roadway running in a NE-SW direction linking Candleby Lane and Owthorpe Road, in the southern part o the historic core of Cotgrave. The site is bound on its north-west, north-east and eastern sides by a tall red brick garden wall which is considered to be of late-18th century date. The site comprises a large open and grassed garden, with a consistent ground level. The evidence from the assessment has identified no known below-ground archaeological resources within the site, with most recorded remains centred around the Church of All Saints, c.270m north-west of the site. The site is considered to have moderate potential for Prehistoric, Romano-British, and Medieval remains due to their limited presence within the study area, and high potential for Post Medieval remains due to the consistent occupation of the settlement and related activity from this period onward. The assessment considers the brick garden wall to likely date from the late-18th century. It is regarded as having medium significance as a non-designated structure, which is limited by its lack of architectural treatment or embellishment, and the fact it doesn’t form a group of garden/estate features. The proposed residential development of 5 houses has the potential to impact any buried archaeological remains, resulting in their whole or partial loss and therefore negative effect to their significance. The creation of an opening in the brick wall to create an access point from Risegate will result in the isolated loss of historic fabric, largely limited to a section of later rebuilt walling.
