What this record tells us

A desk-based assessment was undertaken at Brierley, Leominster, Herefordshire on behalf of Agri Management Solutions Ltd, who intends to construct a reservoir on the site for which a planning application has yet to be submitted (centred on NGR SO 491 566). The development is considered to be likely to impact upon potentially significant Iron Age and Roman settlement remains and Holocene palaeoenvironmental deposits relating to the complex geomorphological history of the River Arrow and Little Arrow. The development is unlikely to affect the setting of the surrounding heritage assets as it will be screened from the surrounding landscape by tree planting. Where the development may be visible it is thought not to be significant.
