ENN107101 - Land off Northampton Lane North, 2013 (Excavation)

Site code: AS1620. In September 2013 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS), conducted an archaeological excavation via Strip, Map and Sample on land off Northampton Lane North, Moulton, Northamptonshire (NGR SP 784 655). The investigation was carried out to comply with an archaeological condition attached to planning appeal approval for the construction of a new residential development (Appeal Ref. APP/Y2810/A/12/2178421). The investigation targeted the shallow, undated ditches identified during the evaluation. Area A was centred on Trench 3 of the evaluation which recorded a former field boundary and two shallow NW/SE aligned ditches. Area B was centred on Trench 11 of the evaluation which revealed a NE/SW aligned ditch. Post-medieval / modern field boundary features were recorded in Area A (F1003, F1005 and F1006) and Area B (F1020), and undated discrete features were recorded in Area B (F1011. F1013, F1015, F1017 and F1022). The archaeological investigation reflected the results of the trial trench evaluation. Like the evaluation the discrete features did not contain finds and are not suggestive of an archaeological site. The investigation concurs with the evaluation, it seems that little activity, aside from post-medieval farming, has ever been carried out across the site. Information from OASIS Online Form.
