Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd on behalf of Shepherd Construction, to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of a proposed new University Technical College (UTC) on land off Ashby Road, Daventry, Northamptonshire. The Site has been subject to very low level test pitting (Upson-Smith 2010) as part of a wider scheme. No archaeological finds or features were encountered in the test pit excavated within the Site although the presence of ridge and furrow earthworks was noted. As a result of the archaeological potential of the Site, Northamptonshire County Council produced a brief (NCC 2012) outlining the requirement for four 30m evaluation trenches, and a topographic survey of extant earthworks. This evaluation revealed the remains of several furrows and a post-medieval/modern ditch. All the features were thought to be of agricultural origin, and no dating evidence was retrieved from any of the features during the course of the evaluation. |
