Description
MOLA Northampton was commissioned by Persimmon Homes Midlands to carry out a geophysical survey and archaeological trial trench evaluation on land north of Harrington Road, Rothwell, Northamptonshire prior to proposed residential development of the site. Thirteen trenches were excavated. A series of ditches, identified in the geophysical survey as being part of several enclosures, have been dated to the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. An undated trackway was aligned north-east to south-west across the middle of the site. Undated quarrying was recorded at the eastern edge of the development area and evidence of ridge and furrow cultivation was evident across the site.
