Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by Anglian Water Services to undertake a continuous watching brief over the route of a new water pipeline from Clapham to Ravensden, Bedfordshire. As a result of the watching brief parts of two previously undiscovered sites, one late Iron Age, the other Romano-British, were excavated and recorded. There was no overt evidence for structures, but modest assemblages of pottery were indicative of nearby domestic activity. At the Roman site evidence of gravel extraction was found in the form of a series of closely spaced ditches or elongated pits where small quantities of later 3rd/4th century coins were found. A few isolated pockets of archaeological features were also recorded along the route. |
