Description

{1} An archaeological excavation works was undertaken at Harborough Road, Desborough prior to the proposed development on the site. The mitigation area targeted potential archaeology identified in trial trench evaluation. A ditch system may have been part of a larger enclosure and the presence of a sherd of Roman pottery indicates that it was of Roman or later date. There were also furrows of a former medieval to post medieval field system and post medieval field drains on the same alignment. Site code: DHR14.
