Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out during February 2017 on land between Hall Farm and 1 Blueberry Close, Maidwell, Northamptonshire, in advance of a proposal for residential development of the site. The study site lies in an area where there is considerable archaeological potential for the presence of medieval remains. A large fishpond lies to the south-west and evidence of occupation has been found recently in the field to the west. Historic mapping (OS 1885-7) shows that the evaluation was concentrated in what appears to be a yard area attached to an earlier 19th century farm now occupied by Blueberry Close. No archaeological remains were recorded during the evaluation, but instead a sequence of three stratified homogenous deposits indicating an open rural landscape. Some modern truncation of these deposits was observed in trench 2, whilst in trench 3, the subsoil layer had been entirely removed when the area to the east was terraced during construction of a yard area associated with the later occupation of Hall Farm built in the 20th century to the south of the earlier farm. |
