Description
During August 2011, an archaeological watching brief was carried out on land adjacent to the Old Station House, Barnwell, Northamptonshire, during groundworks for the residential development of the site. During the initial site visit it became evident that the site had been levelled prior to the commencement of the development, removing between 0.3m and 1m of soil from east to west. As a result, any potential surface remains had been removed. The ground reduction and footing trenches on the western side of the site revealed a probable buried land surface, suggesting that this side of the site had been built up, probably during the construction of Barnwell Station in the mid 19th century. No further archaeological finds or features were observed during the watching brief. Information from OASIS Online Form
