Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken on land at Holm Close, Weedon Bec, Northamptonshire by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between 20th-24th January. The initial potential of the site was highlighted by information held in the Northamptonshire Historic Environment Record indicating that the area was close to know medieval remains. This highlighted the potential for archaeological features to be present within the proposed area for a new residential development. A total of six trenches were to evaluate apparently 'archaeologically blank' areas of the site. To the south and east four of the excavated trenches contained archaeological remains including ditches, post-holes and pits. Dating to the 12th century these may be evidence of the former medieval core of Upper Weedon. To the north-west colluvial deposits were identified with some modern rubble relating to more recent use of the farm. The site archive will be held by ULAS under the temporary accession number NHWD 2011 until a suitable storage space is allocated for its deposition in Northamptonshire |
