Description

{1} Site code: MMW15. In January to March 2015, a programme of archaeological observation, investigation and recording was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the construction of a solar farm at Mount Mill Farm, Wicken, Northamptonshire. A previous archaeological evaluation and a geophysical survey of the site had recorded an Iron Age farmstead within the site's eastern field. The programme of archaeological observation, investigation and recording identified a single undated ditch. The monitored groundworks were outside of the main concentration of Iron Age features recorded by the previous archaeological investigations. The lack of features exposed during the present woks confirms that the previous investigations accurately defined the limits of the archaeological remains at the site.
