<strong>Potash</strong> <strong>Minehead</strong>, <strong>Doves</strong> <strong>Nest</strong> <strong>Farm</strong>, <strong>North</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Moors</strong>: <strong>Heritage</strong> Desk-Based Assessment<br />
Site visit<br />
2.6 The site of the proposed minehead has been subject to site visitation on two<br />
separate occasions. The land at <strong>Doves</strong> <strong>Nest</strong> <strong>Farm</strong> was visited on 18th July 2012,<br />
while accessible areas of the plantation woodland to the east were visited on 21st<br />
September 2012. Site visitation was carried out in order to identify any heritage<br />
assets not previously recorded within the PDA, and to assess any other potential<br />
constraints affecting the proposed development.<br />
2.7 The site visit was carried out by a qualified archaeologist, with observations<br />
recorded on pro forma record sheets.<br />
Watching brief<br />
2.8 Between 7th and 10th November 2012, an archaeologist was present during the<br />
stripping of topsoil and subsoil prior to the installation of a temporary drilling rig at<br />
<strong>Doves</strong> <strong>Nest</strong> <strong>Farm</strong>; this now forms part of the minehead application site and was<br />
subject to a separate planning application.<br />
2.9 Although no archaeological remains were known to be located within the site,<br />
monitoring was undertaken in order to identify any potential unrecorded remains.<br />
2.10 The soil removed was located next to the stripped area and stockpiled in adjacent<br />
areas that were not stripped.<br />
