Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising a geophysical survey and trial trench excavation carried out on the line of the proposed A43 Corby Link Road revealed a number of scattered archaeological sites. An isolated ring ditch, known from previous aerial photography, is 38m in diameter and the ditch is 0.9m deep by 4.8m wide. Although no dating evidence was recovered, it is likely to be the ring ditch of a Bronze Age round barrow. A further potential ring ditch was also located, along with an Iron Age ditch and two Roman ditches. |
