ENN108129 - Alibone Close, Moulton 2014 (Watching brief)

In April, July and August 2014 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological observation, investigation, recording, analysis and publication on land off Alibone Close, Moulton. The investigation was required by Northamptonshire Council in compliance with a planning condition on approval to build 16 new bungalow dwellings on the site. An archaeological evaluation was completed (Fairclough 2014). Two dated archaeological features were revealed: Pits F1010 and F1012 (Trench 3). The dating evidence is tentative being based on abraded Anglo-Saxon sherds; one from Pit F1012 and two from Pit F1010. Animal bone was also found within these pits. The pits were located adjacent to the eastern boundary of the site. Undated features largely comprised pits in Trenches 1 and 6. An undated ditch was recorded in Trench 3. This investigation, however, revealed no archaeological features or finds.
