Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment uncovered evidence of Iron Age and Roman settlement activity surrounding the proposed development area. A site inspection found that Kingswood School, c.1965, consisted of two separate sites, Upper and Lower, constructed on two of the three levels of terracing. The buildings were typical of the school buildings of their period and appeared to have no significant architectural or historical value or rarity. The artificial terracing was constructed by excavating the northern area first and redistributing the spoil to the south to create two other graduated levels. It was probable that any underlying archaeology within the middle and southern terraces had been sealed by this process but lost within the excavated northern level. The potential for the survival of underlying archaeology within the study area was further enhanced by cartographic evidence which suggested that it has remained part of the surrounding field systems since at least the enclosures of the 1830s, and, as a result, stayed largely free from archaeologically destructive processes.
