Description
MOLA Northampton carried out archaeological observation of three exploratory test pits which were excavated on the surface of Fotheringhay Bridge, Fotheringhay, Northamptonshire. The purpose of the work was to ascertain the nature of the bridge make-up and the thickness of the bridge arches in order to inform future mitigation and strengthening of the bridge. The observation demonstrated that the historic core of the bridge was undisturbed and comprised sandstone and limestone rubble overlain by a modern tarmac surface.
