Executive Summary
RPS Planning and Development have been commissioned to produce a desk based
assessment of the authority’s site on behalf of Gloucestershire County Council, to assess its
cultural heritage potential in advance of proposed development for a strategic waste
management facility.
The proposed development site is located on the southern half of Javelin Park, itself located on
the west side of the B4008 road, Haresfield, Gloucestershire, centred on National Grid
Reference Easting 380094/Northing 210374, on level ground at approximately 22 metres AOD.
Published geology comprises Lower Lias Clays.
The proposed development area has been subject to soil stripping and general ground
disturbance. There are a number of recent and ongoing developments in the area immediately
adjacent to the proposed development area. These include a garden centre outside Javelin
Park and an access road and pumping station within Javelin Park immediately to the north of
the proposed development area. No archaeological intervention appears to have taken place
with regard to either development.
Although relatively little archaeological activity has taken place in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed development area, it is located within a landscape that is rich in archaeological
remains. Sites and finds of all periods from the early prehistoric onwards are known from the
surrounding area although with the exception of ridge and furrow, now destroyed, none are
known from the proposed development area.
Any remains predating the construction of the airfield and the Gloster Aircraft Company facility
located within the proposed development area are likely to have been adversely affected by
their development and the potential of the proposed development area to contain such remains
is low. The 20th century structures have been removed and their potential is now negligible.
There are no statutorily designated sites (e.g. Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings) within
the proposed development area.
The closest statutorily protected cultural heritage receptor is the Mount moated site (SAM
32365), located some 750 metres east of the proposed development area. There may be a
degree of intervisibility with the proposed development, depending on its exact nature and a
possible effect upon the setting of the SAM.
February 2011

There are several other Scheduled Monuments and listed buildings whose setting may be
affected by proposed development, depending on its exact nature. No registered parks and
gardens, historic battlefields or conservation areas, or their settings, would be affected by the
proposed development.
There is no evidence for the proposed development area to contain below ground remains of
national importance, or of sufficient importance to warrant preservation in situ and the overall
archaeological potential of the proposed development area is considered to be low.

Introduction
1.1
Proposal
1.1.1
RPS Planning and Development have been commissioned to produce a desk based
assessment of the authority’s site on behalf of Gloucestershire County Council, in order
to assess the cultural heritage potential of the area in advance of proposed development
for waste management uses.
1.2
Background
1.2.1
The proposed site is located on the southern half of Javelin Park, itself located on the
west side of the B4008 road, Haresfield, Gloucestershire, centred on National Grid
Reference Easting 380094/Northing 2103744.
1.2.2
The proposed development area is located in the Severn Vale, a landscape which is rich
in terms of its archaeological resource. Remains of all periods are known in a radius of
some 2 kilometres including the Mount moated site, Haresfield (a Scheduled Ancient
Monument, SAM 32365), the Moated site at Church Farm, Moreton Valence (SAM
32335) and Haresfield Hill Camp and Ring Hill Earthworks (SAM GC43).
1.3
Site Description
1.3.1
The proposed development area is on level ground at approximately 22 metres AOD.
The published geology of the proposed development area comprises Lower Lias Clays
(BGS 1972).
1.3.2
The proposed development area is bounded by recently planted trees, a shallow stream
and a chain link fence to the south, a recently planted/thickened hedge to the east, a
new access road to Javelin Park to the north, and a hedgerow and open ground facing
the M5 motorway to the west.
1.3.3
There are a number of recent and ongoing developments in the area immediately
adjacent to the proposed development area. These include a garden centre outside
Javelin Park, some 175 metres to the north of the proposed development area and an
access road and pumping station within Javelin Park immediately to the north of the
proposed development area. No archaeological intervention appears to have taken
place with regard to either development.
February 2011

1.3.4
Most of the proposed development area, including most previously built or surfaced
areas, has recently been stripped of topsoil. A small grassed area is located at the
south of the proposed development area. This contains the remains of building
foundations associated with the airfield or subsequent uses and appears likely to have
been disturbed.
1.4
Aims
1.4.1
The aim of the study is to assess the likelihood of the proposed development site to
contain archaeological remains and to provide an indication of what, if any, further work
would be required with regard to archaeology and cultural heritage.
1.5
Project Archive
1.5.1
The project archive is held by RPS at the time of writing.
1.5.2
This report has been written for and on behalf of RPS by Dan Slatcher BA, MA, MIFA.

Methodology
2.1.1
During this assessment, health and safety considerations were paramount, relevant
legislation and guidance were complied with and appropriate health and safety
measures adopted at all times during this assessment.
2.1.2
The desk assessment comprised, in the first instance, consultation with the
Gloucestershire Historic Environment Record (HER) and the National Monuments
Record (NMR). A review of relevant documentary and archival material held in libraries
and archives was undertaken, as was a review of aerial photographs held in the NMR.
An iterative approach was adopted during this process to determine the scope of the
above consultations/searches.
2.1.3
In particular the following published and archive sources of historical, archaeological,
geographical, topographical and environmental data were consulted where relevant to
the area of the development:
•
The County Sites and Monuments Record
•
The National Monuments Record of English Heritage
•
Geological Maps
•
All Ordnance Survey maps of the site and its environs
•
Tithe, Apportionment and Parish maps (where available)
•
Estate maps of the area (where available)
•
Other historical maps and documents held in the County Records Office, local
museums, libraries or other archives (where relevant)
•
Appropriate archaeological and historical journals and books
•
Unpublished research reports and archives, including those held by relevant
museums and local societies.
2.1.4
•
Aerial photographs
•
All available borehole and trial pit data from the site and its immediate environs
•
Any further geophysical and/or geotechnical data available
A site visit was undertaken to establish the presence of above ground archaeology,
whether or not previously recorded, and to allow an assessment of the settings of
cultural heritage features to be made. The site visit also provided an indication of the
suitability of any further survey techniques.
2.1.5
The assessment has conformed to the relevant legislation and guidance, including:
February 2011
5
•
Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment (PPS 5)
Department of Communities and Local Government March 2010;
•
Code of Conduct Institute of Field Archaeologists 2006 and
•
Standard And Guidance for Archaeological Desk based Assessment Institute of Field
Archaeologists 2001.
2.1.6
PPS 5, policies HE8 and HE9 indicate that heritage assets may be of varying levels of
significance. In addition, the Design Manual for Road and Bridges (Vol 11, Section 3
Part 2 HA208/07) Highways Agency, August 2007 details categories of relative
significance:
•
Sites of Very High Value – usually world Heritage sites or sites of acknowledged
International Significance
•
Sites of High Value or National Significance – usually Scheduled Ancient
Monuments, or monuments in the process of being scheduled.
•
Sites of Medium Value, these being of Regional or County Significance;
•
Sites of Low Value, these being of district or Local Significance;
•
Sites of Negligible Value or significance - with very little of no surviving
archaeological interest.
•
Sites of Unknown Value or significance.
2.1.7
Designations of relative importance in this report are based on this designation.
2.1.8
Within this report, archaeological periods are defined as follows:
•
Prehistoric [comprising Lower Palaeolithic (pre 30,000 BC), Upper Palaeolithic
(30,000 - 10,000BC), Mesolithic (10,000 - 3,500BC), Neolithic (3,500 - 2,000BC),
Bronze Age (2,000 - 700BC) and Iron Age (700BC - AD43)]
•
Roman (AD43 - AD410)
•
Medieval (AD450 - AD1540)
•
Post Medieval (AD1540 onwards)

Planning Context
3.1.1
Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment (PPS 5) Department
of Communities and Local Government March 2010, provides advice to planning
authorities regarding the protection of heritage assets within the planning process. The
guidance deals with all types of heritage in a single document. The PPS takes an
integrated approach to the historic environment and 'heritage assets', moving beyond
the distinction between buildings, landscapes and archaeological remains.
3.1.2
Policy HE6.1 notes that local planning authorities should require an applicant to provide
a description of the significance of the heritage assets affected and the contribution of
their setting to that significance. The level of detail should be proportionate to the
importance of the heritage asset and no more than is sufficient to understand the
potential impact of the proposal on the significance of the heritage asset.
3.1.3
Policy HE7.2 notes that in considering the impact of a proposal on any heritage asset,
local planning authorities should take into account the particular nature of the
significance of the heritage asset and the value that it holds for this and future
generations.
3.1.4
Listed buildings are protected under the provisions 54(i) of the Town and Country
Planning Act (1971), as amended by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation
Areas) Act (1990) which empowers the Secretary of State for the Department of Culture,
Media and Sport (DCMS) to maintain a list of built structures of historic or architectural
significance.
3.1.5
Scheduled Ancient Monuments are protected through the Ancient Monuments and
Archaeological Areas Act (1979), which had been updated in the National Heritage Act
(1983). Scheduled Monuments are maintained on a list held by the Secretary of State
for DCMS. Any alterations or works to a Scheduled Monument (including archaeological
investigation) requires Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC).
3.1.6
The development plan for the site comprises the, Gloucestershire Structure Plan Second
Review, adopted November 1999, Gloucestershire Waste Local Plan, adopted October
2004 and the Stroud District Local Plan, adopted November 2005. Relevant policies are
as follows:
February 2011
7
Gloucestershire Structure Plan, Second Review, adopted November 1999
Policy NHE.6
The distinctive historic environment of the County will be conserved and enhanced. Scheduled
Ancient Monuments, Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas, and their settings will be preserved.
Historic settlements and landscapes, historic parks and gardens, and sites of archaeological
importance will be protected from the adverse effects of development.
Gloucestershire Waste Local Plan, adopted October 2004, saved policies
Policy 28 - Sites Of National Archaeological Importance
Proposals for waste development which would cause damage to or involve significant alteration
to nationally important archaeological remains or their settings, whether scheduled or not, will
not be permitted.
Policy 29 - Sites Of Local Archaeological Importance
Proposals for waste development will only be permitted on a site of local archaeological
importance where satisfactory mitigation arrangements have been defined following
consideration of the results of an archaeological evaluation, recording or excavation and
subsequent publication of the results.
Policy 31 – Historic Heritage
Proposals for waste development, which adversely affect the following designations, will not be
permitted unless the effects of the development can be mitigated:
•
•
•
registered historic parks and gardens,
registered battlefields, and
locally important parks and gardens.
Stroud Local Plan, adopted November 2005, saved policies
POLICY BE5
Development within or affecting the setting of a Conservation Area will only be permitted if all
the following criteria are met:
February 2011
8
1. the siting of the development respects existing open spaces, patterns of building layout,
trees, and boundary treatment and does not harm any positive contribution made to the
character or appearance of the Conservation Area by any of these;
2. the scale, design, proportions, detailing and materials used in the proposed development are
sympathetic to the characteristic form in the area, and compatible with adjacent buildings and
spaces;
3. it does not cause the loss of features of historic or characteristic value; and
4. important views within, into and out of the area are protected.
POLICY BE12
A proposal for development that affects the setting of a listed building will only be permitted
where it preserves the setting of the affected listed building.
POLICY BE14
Development that detrimentally affects archaeological remains of other than national
significance will not be permitted unless the importance of the development outweighs the value
of the remains.

Archaeological and Historical Background
4.1
Introduction
4.1.1
Although relatively little archaeological activity has taken place in the immediate vicinity
of the proposed development area, the wider landscape is one relatively rich in
archaeological remains.
4.2
Prehistoric
4.2.1
The lower Severn Valley has seen activity since early times, with numerous recorded
sites and finds. This activity is attested by a number of finds of flint objects dating from at
least the Mesolithic onwards (SMR numbers 31647, 31648, 31649, 31655, 31656,
31657). Early activity on higher ground is indicated by the find of a Bronze Age razor
knife made on the Haresfield Beacon Estate during the early 1980s (SMR number
6900).
4.2.2
Two bowl barrows, dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, are located to the
south of Court Hill Farm, some 1.7 kilometres south of the proposed development area
(SMR number 418). The barrows are a Scheduled monument (SAM32384).
4.2.3
An Iron Age hillfort known as The Bulwarks is located on the summit of Haresfield Hill.
The site is a Scheduled Monument (SMR number 418, SAM 43A). This may have
formed an annex to the adjacent hillfort on Ring Hill (SMR number 439, SAM43B).
4.2.4
There are no recorded remains of prehistoric date within the proposed development
area itself.
4.3
Roman
4.3.1
The proposed development area is located within an area that was heavily Romanised
and occupied during the Roman period. The major Roman city of Gloucester was
located some 8 kilometres northeast of the proposed development area and is now
subsumed by the modern city. In addition the large Roman settlements at Cirencester
and Seamills were located some 23 kilometres southeast and 40 kilometres southwest
of the proposed development area respectively.
4.3.2
On the higher ground to the east of the proposed development area a probable Roman
building is located inside the hillfort on Ring Hill (SMR number 441, SAM43C).
February 2011
10
4.3.3
A major Roman road, running from Seamills near Bristol to Gloucester is located
approximately one kilometre to the west of the proposed development area. The
alignment of this road seems to be to the west of and roughly parallel with the modern
A38 road (SMR number 7365). A further possible Roman road is recorded running
roughly northwest to southeast some 850 metres south of the proposed development
area (SMR number 21903).
4.3.4
A late Iron Age/Early Roman settlement site has been partly excavated in a field south of
Little Haresfield Farm, some 1.2 kilometres south of the proposed development area.
The site, recorded as New Moreton Farm, contained at least two roundhouses and a
possible Roman building (SMR numbers 27610 and 20999). A further Late Iron
Age/Early Roman farmstead has been recorded a similar distance northeast of the
proposed development area and was partly excavated in 2005 (SMR number 20712).
Evidence of Romano British period settlement was recorded during investigations on the
line of the M5 motorway 800 metres north of the proposed development area (SMR
number 4422). Cropmarks some 500 metres north of the location of this settlement may
also represent activity of this period (SMR number 4421).
4.3.5
Roman pottery has been found during a watching brief some 300 metres east of the
proposed development area (SMR number 10991), with further finds of Roman material,
chiefly pottery, made some 650 metres southeast of the proposed development area
during the construction of a pipeline trench in 1979 (SMR number 7090).
4.3.6
There are no known remains of Roman period activity within the proposed development
area.
4.4
Medieval
4.4.1
There is little physical evidence for Anglo Saxon period activity in the vicinity of the
proposed development area. An Anglo Saxon bronze zoomorphic strap end was found
using a metal detector approximately 800 metres south of the proposed development
area (SMR number 21901). Saxon period grave markers have been recorded in
Haresfield churchyard (SMR number 3851), but other than a possible late Saxon pottery
sherd (SMR number 12468) no other remains are known.
4.4.2
The Place-name ‘Haresfield’ first appears in documents in the Domesday Book of 1086
(Smith 1964: 182). The place-name is derived from the Old English and means ‘Hersa’s
tract of open country’. Smith notes that the ‘Hersa’ personal name appears in several
February 2011
11
place names, including Haresfield and Harescombe in this part of the Severn Valley
below Gloucester.
4.4.3
The Mount, located some 750 metres east of the proposed development area seems to
have formed a manorial centre from the Norman Conquest through the medieval period.
The Sites and Monuments Record notes that “the Mount is believed to have been the
site of the manor house of the Manor of Haresfield, held after the Norman Conquest by
Durand, sheriff of Gloucester, and later by the de Bohun family. Although it is not known
precisely when The Mount was constructed, a house called 'The Mount' was assessed
at eight hearths in 1672 and in 1680 was described as 'adjoining the great old stone
house and shooting towards the moat.”
4.4.4
The site comprises a moated site, visible as a square moat enclosing an island. The
surface of the island is raised about 1.5m above the level of the surrounding ground and
a building platform is visible on the island. The south west corner of the moated site is
abutted by the gateway into the churchyard and may have been the original access to
the moat island. The site is a Scheduled Monument (SAM 32365).
4.4.5
Immediately south of the moated site is the parish church of St Peter’s Haresfield,
located some 750 metres east of the proposed development area. This has a 12th
century core and a 14th century tower and porches, the north porch having a geometric
patterned Norman tympanum (the recessed space bounded by the arch above and the
door below it) over a medieval oak door. The building is listed at Grade II*.
4.4.6
Other churches in the area, including St Swithin’s church, Brookthorpe (located some
3.6 kilometres northeast of the proposed development area and listed at Grade II*), St
Nicholas’s church, Hardwicke (located some 2 kilometres northwest of the proposed
development area and listed at Grade I), Saint Stephens church Moreton Valence
(located some 2 kilometres southwest of the proposed development area and listed at
Grade I) and St Nicholas’s church, Standish (located some 1.9 kilometres south of the
proposed development area and listed at Grade I), all have their origins in the medieval
period.
4.4.7
There was a deerpark on the west side of the road from Bristol to Gloucester, associated
with Hardwicke Court, by the mid 12th century. This remained in use until at least the 16th
century (SMR number 7079, Elrington, C.R.,and Herbert). A further deer park, Standish
Park, originated during the medieval period and was first recorded in 1582. It was
located on the higher ground some 1.5 kilometres to the northwest of the proposed
development area.
February 2011
12
4.4.8
Aerial photographs taken from the mid 1940s onwards and held at the National
Monuments Record indicate that both the proposed development area and the
surrounding area contained ridge and furrow, presumably of medieval date and
representing arable agriculture. There is no other evidence for medieval activity within
the proposed development area.
4.5
Post Medieval
4.5.1
Early century maps (i.e. John Speeds map of c.1611 from his Theatre of the Empire of
Great Britaine) mark Haresfield but the first detailed map of the proposed development
area is the Ordnance Survey (OS) surveyors drawing of 1811. This indicates that the
proposed development area and surroundings had been enclosed into a series or
relatively large fields by this time. The road that would become the B4008 road is in
place immediately east of the proposed development area.
4.5.2
The Haresfield Enclosure Map and Award of 1831 indicates that the enclosure was
consolidating and formalising the earlier enclosures shown on the OS surveyors drawing
of twenty years previously. The allotments shown represent parts of the larger fields
shown in the earlier OS drawing. The proposed development area is shown to have had
a stream running through its centre from southeast to northwest.
4.5.3
The first edition OS six inch to the mile map of 1886 shows a position rather similar to
that of the Enclosure Map, albeit with the small allotments within the proposed
development area consolidated into larger units. A road or track shown on the OS
surveyors drawing and the Enclosure Map leading from the unnamed road that joins
Haresfield lane to the B4008 road north of the proposed development area to east side
of the B4008 immediately opposite the proposed development area has largely been
fossilised in field boundaries, but is still in part marked as a track leading towards
Haresfield.
4.6
Modern
4.6.1
The second edition OS published in 1903 shows a similar disposition. The track leading
towards Haresfield now forms the northern boundary of an area indicated as parkland. A
lodge has been constructed at the western end of the track, opposite the proposed
development area. The OS edition of 1924 shows a similar disposition.
4.6.2
Construction began on RAF Haresfield, later RAF Moreton Valence (SMR number
21459) in 1939. The airfield was used for training during the Second World War. In 1943
February 2011
13
aircraft assembly sheds were constructed in the northeast corner of the airfield as part of
a test facility for the Gloster Aircraft Company. The test facility was used for Gloster
f9/40 and Meteor jet aircraft tests. At least one American jet aircraft was also brought to
the site for evaluation.
4.6.3
An aerial photograph taken by the US Air Force on 15th March 1944 shows the airfield
with a number of aircraft on the ground. Immediately north of the proposed development
area a large shed had been constructed. This is presumably the Gloster test/assembly
facility. The main runway is rather longer than usual on a wartime airfield and the
proposed development area is located outside the perimeter track. These features are
shown on the airfield plan (Air Ministry Drawing Number 2539/45) held in the RAF
Museum. The plan is undated but was presumably drawn in 1945 given the drawing
number. There are no dated amendments on the drawing, although it is marked in pen
as being downgraded in security terms in January 1952. This plan confirms the 1944
disposition but within the proposed development area also marks a large building The
large building is annotated ‘MRPB’.
4.6.4
The airfield ceased its RAF use in October 1946 and was handed to the Gloster Aircraft
Company (SMR number 21459). An aerial photograph taken on 30th December 1946
shows the large building and four structures to its west. Traces of earthwork ridge and
furrow are visible in a small area to the west of the large building. By May 1947 an aerial
photograph shows the ridge and furrow traces as having been removed. Circular
dispersal areas had been built within the proposed development area off the perimeter
track. These are not shown on the airfield plan of 1945. Several aircraft are shown on
this aerial photograph. The airfield became inactive in 1962 (SMR number 21459). Aerial
photographs taken on 4th April 1969 show four buildings on site and circular dispersal
areas within the proposed development area. Runway 3, running northwest to southeast
was being used for storage at this time.
4.6.5
To judge from aerial photographs taken on 28th April 1970, the disposition was as that of
4th April 1969. On 5th September 1970, aerial photographs show the main runway being
excavated to form the M5 motorway. The motorway junction to the north of the proposed
development area had been formed by this time and the other runways were also being
excavated, probably to provide hardcore for the motorway. An aerial photograph taken
on 12th April 1971 shows that the motorway was in use and that the other runways had
been backfilled. The OS edition of 1972 shows the motorway.
February 2011
14
4.6.6
The OS edition of 1988 shows the proposed development area marked as ‘Bilton
Industrial Estate’. Ordnance Survey mapping of 2000 marks the proposed development
area as ‘Bilton Cargo Centre’ and show the buildings at Javelin Park as being extant.
Google Earth indicates that the buildings were intact in December 1999, but had been
cleared by April 2005 leaving only their floor slabs.
4.6.7
The site visit has indicated that most of the proposed development area, including most
previously built or surfaced areas has recently been stripped of topsoil, apparently as
part of a scheme of remediation which has resulted in levels being largely restored.
The floor slabs of major buildings have been removed and crushed. The whole of the
proposed development area has been affected by this stripping, with the exception of a
small grassed area located at the south of the proposed development area. This
contains the remains of building foundations associated with the airfield or subsequent
uses and appears likely to have been disturbed. At the time of the site visit, levels had
been restored and the amount of soil removed was unclear, although the results of the
site investigation described below provide an indication of the depth of disturbance.
4.6.8
A Phase 2 site investigation report undertaken by RPS (Parker & Baudrain 2010) noted
that Made Ground was frequently encountered across the whole of the site with a
maximum thickness of 2 metres encountered in Borehole BH1, [located in the
northwestern corner of the proposed development area].
4.6.9
The Made Ground mainly comprised gravels and cobbles of concrete and stone
hardcore, brown and grey clays, gravelly clays and sands with frequent infill
materials/demolition rubbles largely comprising brick and concrete. Timber, concrete rebars, plastics and metal were also identified in places. Ash, clinker and hydrocarbon
contamination were also identified……
4.6.10 Over the eastern area of the site, the upper Made Ground was encountered as a 0.2 m
to 0.5 m layer of brown clay mixed with demolition rubble. Made Ground was found to
cover much of the ground surface within the central area of the site……..).
4.6.11 Beneath this a layer of hardcore was typically encountered, comprising mainly crushed
concrete and brick with infrequent waste (such as glass, plastic, metal, wood) and layers
of clinker. The hardcore layer was found to be up to 0.9 m in thickness and covering the
central and eastern areas of the site.
Gravels and cobbles of hardcore was often
encountered in a silty clay and sand matrix.
4.6.12 The proposed development area is currently in a disturbed condition.

Assessment of Potential
5.1.1
The proposed development area is located within a wider landscape that is rich in
archaeological remains. Sites and finds of all periods from the early prehistoric onwards
are known from the surrounding area although with the exception of ridge and furrow,
now removed and not significant, none are known or recorded from the proposed
development area.
5.1.2
None of the aerial photographs examined show archaeological features within the
proposed development area, other than ridge and furrow. This was built over by 1947
and will have been further damaged/removed through operations connected with the
development of Javelin Park.
5.1.3
The site investigation, site visit and walkover survey have indicated that any remains
predating the construction of the airfield and the Gloster Aircraft Company (GAC) facility
are likely to have been adversely affected by their development and the potential of the
proposed development area to contain such remains is therefore low. The airfield and
GAC facility structures have themselves been removed and their potential is now
negligible.
5.1.4
There is no evidence for the proposed development area to contain below ground
remains of national importance, or of sufficient importance to warrant preservation in situ
and the overall archaeological potential of the proposed development area is considered
to be low.
5.1.5
There are a number of Scheduled Ancient Monuments in the area. These include:
•
The Mount moated site, Haresfield (SAM 32365), located some 750 metres east
of the proposed development area. There may be a degree of intervisibility with
the proposed development, depending on its exact nature and a possible effect
upon the setting of the SAM.
•
The moated site at Church Farm, Moreton Valence (SAM 32335), located
approximately 2 kilometres southwest of the proposed development area. Views
from the SAM towards the proposed development area are restricted by
vegetation and intervisibility with the proposed development would be limited.
February 2011

•
Haresfield Hill Camp and Ring Hill Earthworks (SAM GC43), located on the
summit of Haresfield Hill, some 2.5 kilometres southeast of the proposed
development area. The proposed development would be visible from the summit.
The degree of intrusion, if any, would be dependent upon the exact nature of the
development, but it is noted that the proposed development area comprised
previously developed land and that the effect on the setting of the cultural
heritage feature is unlikely to be of great magnitude.
•
Two bowl barrows, dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, are
located to the south of Court Hill Farm, some 1.7 kilometres south of the
proposed development area (SMR number 418). The proposed development
area is likely to be visible from the Scheduled Monument, which is on land that is
not publically accessible. The proposed development may have an effect on the
setting of the SAM, depending on its exact nature.
5.1.6
There are a number of listed buildings in the area. These include:
•
The parish church of St Peter’s Haresfield is located some 750 metres east of
the proposed development area and is listed at Grade II*.
There may be a
degree of intervisibility with the proposed development, depending on its exact
nature and a possible effect upon the setting of the listed building.
•
St Swithin’s church, Brookthorpe is located some 3.6 kilometres northeast of
the proposed development area and listed at Grade II*.
•
St Nicholas’s church, Hardwicke is located some 2 kilometres northwest of the
proposed development area and listed at Grade I.
•
Saint Stephen’s church, Moreton Valence is located some 2 kilometres
southwest of the proposed development area and listed at Grade I.
•
St Nicholas’s church, Standish is located some 1.9 kilometres south of the
proposed development area and listed at Grade I.
5.1.7
Depending on its exact nature, the proposed development may have an effect upon the
setting of these listed buildings.
5.1.8
The nearest Conservation Area is located at Randwick, located approximately 4.3
kilometres southeast of the proposed development area and Pitchcombe, 5.1 kilometres
southeast of the proposed development area. Intervening landscape and woodland
February 2011
17
would reduce or nullify intervisibility between the proposed development area and these
Conservation Areas and their settings are unlikely to be significantly affected by the
proposed development. Hucclecote Green and Hempsted Conservation Areas, within
the City of Gloucester are located in urban areas and their settings are unlikely to be
significantly affected by the proposed development.
5.1.9
The nearest Registered Park and Garden is Frampton Court, registered at Grade II* and
located some 5.1 kilometres southwest of the proposed development area. Frampton
Court has a mid-18th century water garden, with 19th and 20th century gardens near the
house. The gardens cover around two hectares within the wider parkland of around 25
hectares. The Registered Park and Garden is bounded by hedgerows with mature trees
to its northeast and intervisibility with the proposed development is likely to be limited.
The setting of the Registered Park and Garden is unlikely to be significantly affected by
the proposed development.
5.1.10 The proposed development area is located within an Historic Landscape characterised
by Gloucestershire County Council as ‘disused 20th Century military site’. Development
has left this landscape degraded and its character has been largely eroded.

Conclusions
6.1.1
This study has revealed that there are no statutorily designated sites (e.g. Scheduled
Monuments, Listed Buildings) within the proposed development area.
6.1.2
The closest statutorily protected cultural heritage receptor is the Mount moated site
(SAM 32365), located some 750 metres east of the proposed development area. There
may be a degree of intervisibility with the proposed development, depending on its exact
nature and a possible effect upon the setting of the SAM.
6.1.3
There are several other Scheduled Monuments and listed buildings whose setting may
be affected by proposed development, depending on its exact nature. No registered
parks and gardens, historic battlefields or conservation areas, or their settings, would be
affected by the proposed development.
6.1.4
There is no evidence for the proposed development area to contain below ground
remains of national importance, or of sufficient importance to warrant preservation in situ
and the overall archaeological potential of the proposed development area is considered
to be low.

Source map scale - 1:10,560
The historical maps shown were reproduced from maps predominantly held at
the scale adopted for England, Wales and Scotland in the 1840`s. In 1854 the
1:2,500 scale was adopted for mapping urban areas; these maps were used to
update the 1:10,560 maps. The published date given therefore is often some
years later than the surveyed date. Before 1938, all OS maps were based on
the Cassini Projection, with independent surveys of a single county or group of
counties, giving rise to significant inaccuracies in outlying areas. In the late
1940`s, a Provisional Edition was produced, which updated the 1:10,560
mapping from a number of sources. The maps appear unfinished - with all
military camps and other strategic sites removed. These maps were initially
overprinted with the National Grid. In 1970, the first 1:10,000 maps were
produced using the Transverse Mercator Projection. The revision process
continued until recently, with new editions appearing every 10 years or so for
urban areas.

'Large Scale National Grid Data' superseded SIM cards (Ordnance Survey's
'Survey of Information on Microfilm') in 1992, and continued to be produced
until 1999. These maps were the fore-runners of digital mapping and so
provide detailed information on houses and roads, but tend to show less
topographic features such as vegetation. These maps were produced at both
1:2,500 and 1:1,250 scales.
