Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out geophysical survey, archaeological evaluation and a watching brief on land proposed for Upton Way Flood Attenuation Scheme, Upton, Northamptonshire. Geophysical survey detected possible anomalies that might have been archaeological features. However, trial trenching demonstrated the presence of alluvium over the natural ground to a depth of 0.2 to 0.9m and no archaeological features were present. A residual worked flint was recovered from alluvium in one trench. During the watching brief for the installation of the haul road, two post-medieval features, a corner of an enclosure ditch and a shallow gully, were observed below the topsoil and cut into the subsoil. An earlier arm of the River Nene, before the river was straightened was also observed and its fill yielded a small number of Roman pottery sherds and residual flint flakes. |
