Abstract: |
In November 2009 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) on land at Creed Road, Oundle, Northamptonshire (NGR 0300 8900), prior to the proposed residential redevelopment of the site. The latter lies within an identified area of Archaeological Priority defined by Northamptonshire County Council (Foard 1979). The desk-based assessment (Doyle, 2007) recorded that the site is located immediately beside a small Roman settlement and an adjoining early to middle Saxon cemetery, both of which were revealed during archaeological investigations undertaken in the field to the immediate east (Webster 1999; Maull and Masters 2001). A geophysical survey was undertaken prior to the trial trenching (Stratascan 2009). The evaluation revealed evidence of Romano-British occupation within seven trenches located on the eastern and north-eastern boundary. The features comprise 20 ditches, 11 pits, three gullies, a ring ditch, a posthole and an occupation layer; the majority contained Romano-British finds. The Small Finds assemblage consists of a single glass bead, probably of early Roman date, a Roman copper-alloy coin and nine other copper-alloy objects, including two early Roman brooches. Romano-British fine wares including decorated Gaulish samian ware was also recovered. The post-medieval ridge and furrow ploughing regime, recorded in the geophysical survey, was also located and recorded. |
