This archaeological assessment was undertaken in accordance with best practice. The heritage assessment follows the guidance outlined in: Conservation Principles: policies and guidance for the sustainable management of the historic environment (English Heritage 2008), The Setting of Heritage Assets (Historic England 2015), Seeing History in the View (English Heritage 2011), Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Setting (Historic Scotland 2010), and with reference to Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 3rd Edition (Landscape Institute 2013). The impact assessment also follows the guidance outlined in the Principles of Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment in the UK produced by CIfA, IHBC and IEMA in July 2021. The direct effect of the development would be the possible disturbance or destruction of archaeological features or deposits present within the structure and footprint of the development; the impact of the development would depend on the presence and significance of archaeological features and deposits. The site may have the potential to encounter buried archaeological remains relating to buildings, structures or boundaries previously located within the proposed development area. The HER shows the possible route of a Roman Road crossing the site and Prehistoric, Roman and Medieval occupation is noted in the vicinity of the site. It is unknown however to what extent the ground comprising the site was disturbed as part of the construction of the existing sports facilities on the site. The archaeological potential of the site is unknown but is considered likely to be relatively low. Damage to archaeological deposits would be considered permanent/irreversible. Mitigation in the form of archaeological monitoring and recording would be appropriate for this site.
