The Archeological desk-based assessment will include: - Map Regression based on Ordnance Survey Maps and tithe/enclosure maps and apportionments held online; -Examination of material currently held in the Dorset Historic Environment Record, including Historic Landscape characterisation, for the study site and for a 1km search radius; -Consultation of the National Heritage List for England; and -Site Inspection The assessment has identified no designated or non-designated archaeological assets within the study site. An assessment of archaeological potential has been undertaken which is based on a geophysical survey from within the site and archeological investigations to the north and south. The study site forms part of the agricultural hinterland of known settlement and is considered to have low potential for all historic periods As a result the, groundworks associated with the proposed development are considered to have no impacts or effects in relation to archaeology.
