Description
Magnetometer survey south of Junction 3 of the A14 at Rothwell, Northamptonshire. Although heavy growth denied access to the entire scheme, prospection revealed part of a relict medieval farming landscape over an area of approximately 5.6ha within three fields. Two ridge and furrow cultivation schemes were defined at approximately right-angles between Field 1 and the other two fields. Fields 1 and 2 are currently separated by a drain. The drain is believed to divert water into the Slade Brook from a possible former stream identified between the two fields. A possible ditch of unknown purpose was identified in Field 1.
