Abstract: |
During November 2004 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on a site at the Former Tannery, Wellington Road, Raunds, Northamptonshire. The work was undertaken in advance of proposed residential redevelopment of the sit and was preceded by a desk-based assessment and detailed magnetometer survey. A total of nineteen trenches were excavated. Trenches 8 and 9 revealed a substantial Roman ditch, from which a small quantity of late 2nd to mid 3rd century pottery was recovered. Trenches 1, 3 and 7 revealed evidence of extensive quarrying of a probable post-medieval origin. In conclusion it seems likely that the area has, with the exception of the apparently isolated Roman ditch in trenches 8 and 9 and the quarrying in trenches 1, 3 and 7, remained largely undisturbed and undeveloped until now. |
