Introduction
This collection comprises of site photographs and an archive decision sheet from a trial trench evaluation carried out by COPA (Cotswold Oxford Pre-Construct Archaeology) at Turweston Manor East, Whitfield, Northamptonshire during April 2018.
Project Summary
The trial trench evaluation was required to identify the location, extent, survival and significance of any heritage within the Site and to contribute to the following specific GWSI: Historic Environment Research and Delivery Strategy (HERDS) objectives:
- KC15: Can we identify regional patterns in the in the form and location of Late Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements across the route, and are there associated differences in landscape organisation and enclosure?
- KC 21: Assess the evidence for regional and cultural distinctiveness along the length of the route in the Romano-British period, with particular regard to the different settlement types encountered along the route.
- KC33: Investigate the development of water mills from the Anglo Saxon through to the modern period. How did the technology of milling change, and what implications has this for farming practice?
- KC40: Address emerging questions relating to nucleated medieval rural settlement and rural life during from the 11th to mid-14th century (nucleated village sites in champion areas).
Re-Use Value Statement
The location, extent, survival and significance of any heritage assets of archaeological interest on this site have been captured in this dataset. This can inform future research into the archaeology and practices within the site and surrounding landscape, but also for the county as a whole.
