Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) has been instructed to carry out a programme of Archaeological Observation (AO) in connection with the erection of an agricultural livestock building and associated works at Moorgate Farm Moorend Road Yardley Gobion Northamptonshire NN12 7QG (Planning Ref. S/2019/1579/FUL) The programme of archaeological work carried out at Moorgate Farm revealed no significant archaeological features, with minimal evidence of post-medieval ridge-and-furrow cultivation evident.
The use of the site as public access for events, together with the impact of modern plant and vehicle movements, appear to have impacted the topsoil, reducing this to a fairly shallow depth and compacting and levelling the area over time.
Such activity may account for the absence of any further evidence of post-medieval cultivation. |
