Abstract: |
A second phase of archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of the proposed West Corby Urban Expansion scheme in Northamptonshire. The work took place between September and November 2017, and concentrated on a block of 16 fields representing Phases 2, 3 and 5, part of Phase 4 and the northern access road of the development. The evaluation consisted of 187 trenches and followed on from an initial stage of trial trenching in the Se quarter of the development area that took place in 2016 (Thomas 2016). The recent work was located in the northern and south-western parts of the application area. As with the previous evaluation, trial trenches were located to evaluate archaeological anomalies identified through geophysical survey, and also to sample the surveyed areas where no anomalies had been identified. The results of the geophysical survey indicated that archaeological remains survived extensively across the area covered by the second phase of evaluation. The trenching that targeted geophysical anomalies generally confirmed their interpretation as archaeological features and revealed several core areas of settlement remains. Furthermore, archaeology was also discovered in areas that contained no geophysical anomalies. |
