Abstract: |
MOLA Northampton was commissioned by Wilbraham Associates, on behalf of Bowbridge Land, to conduct an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Northampton Road, Harpole, Northamptonshire, prior to development. Seven trenches were excavated, but the only features were three ditches, one in each of three trenches, and a posthole/small pit. One ditch produced a single sherd of prehistoric pottery, which may be Iron Age or earlier in date, while the other two produced post-medieval pottery and a clay tobacco-pipe stem, indicating that they are likely to be recent boundary/drainage ditches. Another sherd of prehistoric pottery was recovered from a furrow of the medieval to post-medieval ridge and furrow field system, and furrows were present in some trenches. |
