Description

{1} Between May and July 2002 a watching brief was carried out during the construction of a Flood Alleviation Scheme upstream from Dodford Mill, Weedon, Northamptonshire. Two post Medieval field boundaries were recorded. No other significant archaeological features were recorded at this site. However during the excavation of a culvert in the Dam Area, several large pieces of un-worked waterlogged timber were recorded within layer of apparently naturally derived material. These are believed to be of considerable antiquity as they were from a sealed layer c5m below the present ground level. Site code: FDW01.
