This site is sensitive and therefore may be unsuitable for any future consideration of the site for inclusion on Part 2 of the Register. The site lies within an Area of Archaeological Importance and contains a large scheduled monument. It is also adjacent to the Central Conservation Area and two grade II listed churches and other listed buildings to the south. Excavations and interventions have taken place in parts of the site and revealed evidence for occupation and activity from the Middle Saxon period onwards - the rest of the site is undisturbed from modern development under car parks and is anticipated to contain rich and well preserved archaeological remains. Development would require full assessment prior to the granting of consent to any proposals - desk based assessment, building survey and field evaluation.
