Abstract: |
In April and May 2014 an archaeological trial trench evaluation comprising 93 trenches and open area excavation 40m 2 was carried out by MOLA Northampton on behalf of ProLogis. Investigations in the open area excavation failed to locate any evidence for the sub-circular anomaly recorded in the geophysical survey but revealed parallel trenches from a Romano-British cultivation system, possibly a vineyard. These were also found in 11 surrounding trial trenches within the northern part of the site. Pottery dating to the 2nd century AD was recovered two of the cultivation trenches. A small number of undated ditches and gullies were present at the north end of the development area in three of the trenches. Remnant furrows from the medieval ridge and furrow cultivation system were present across the site in 33 of the 93 trenches. Apart from the ridge and furrow no archaeological features or artefacts were found within the southern two-thirds of the site. |
