Description
An archaeological impact assessment was undertaken as a result of a proposal to extend Marston Pit, Cavenham. The assessment included an examination of the HER, a documentary search and a site walkover. The PDA lies entirely within the area of heathland. This area would have been open land until the Enclosure of 1801. Before the enclosure the heath was crossed by several minor roads and trackways, but there is no evidence for any structures within the PDA. One side of the PDA runs adjacent to The Black Ditches (CAM 001) and quarrying would affect the setting of this monument. It was recommended that a programme of archaeological work conducted going forward.
