Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised the excavation of four trenches, each measuring 15m in
length and 1.8m in width. In July 2014, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of a proposed
pumping station site at Stamford Road, Welford, Northamptonshire. Four trenches were
excavated.
The Scheduled remains of a Roman villa and the probable alignment of a Roman road are
recorded c. 100m west of the site, and evidence of late Iron Age ironstone extraction and
smelting is recorded to the north. A previous geophysical survey of the site detected no
archaeological anomalies, although unsuitable ground conditions meant that it was not
possible to survey the entire site.
The archaeological evaluation uncovered no archaeological features or deposits at the site.
This is line with the results of the geophysical survey, and indicates that activity associated
with the known Iron Age and Roman sites in the region did not extend as far as the proposed
development site. |
