Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological mitigation was undertaken on land adjacent to no.9, Sulehay Road, Yarwell, Northamptonshire. The development site is situated on the western edge of the village of Yarwell. A Roman villa of considerable size has been discovered to the north-west of the Yarwell crossroads, with finds from the site including pottery, tile, plaster and a stone capital. This project follows on from an archaeological evaluation already carried out on the site. Three trenches were excavated, encountering a substantial, but undated, ditch in Trench 3; the other two trenches showed disturbance from previous construction. The mitigation encountered the archaeological remains identified in the evaluation, with no further features being identified. All features were sealed below a layer that appeared to be made ground. The linear ditch contained animal bone and an iron artefact, as well as a tiny sherd of late Iron Age or Early Roman pottery. It is unclear what this feature would have been used for. |
