Description
{1} An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the construction of a new distribution centre at DIRFT Central, near Crick, Northamptonshire. The groundworks followed a project design produced by RPS in order to mitigate the effects of the new development area. The groundworks comprised the building up of an area of low lying original ground surface, followed by the excavation of foundations and service trenches for the construction of the new distribution centre. The watching brief showed that groundworks were contained within the made ground and did not impact upon the archaeological remains to the natural stratum. No archaeological deposits were present and no artefacts were recovered. [Area digitised from report by eye.]
