Description
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned to carry out a magnetometer survey ahead of the proposed construction of a wind farm at Spring Farm Ridge, Stuchbury, Greatworth, Northamptonshire. Three out of five turbine bases and their related access roads were surveyed, along with the location of a permanent meteorological mast, and the route of an overhead cable to be undergrounded. This gave a combined area of approximately 3.5ha. The survey revealed two ditched enclosures of probable Iron Age or Romano-British date, several other ditches and pits, and ridge and furrow of medieval origin. However, almost half of the survey produced a disturbed magnetic response, hindering archaeological identification and interpretation. Information from OASIS Online Form.
