Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology during the construction of the Cross Valley Link Road (CVLR) on the western outskirts of Northampton. The investigation confirmed the presence of an Iron Age pit alignment, which had been identified by earlier archaeological evaluation. A Roman or early medieval ditch and medieval furrows were also identified. In addition, between April and July 2007, an archaeological watching brief was maintained during construction work on the new road and river crossing. There were no significant archaeological remains within the road corridor, although a sharpened wooden stake/peg, radiocarbon dated to the middle Saxon period, was recovered from the base of a possible palaeochannel. |
