SNN100568 - An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Of Land Off Deene End, Weldon, Corby, Northamptonshire

An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out on land proposed for housing development off Deene End, Weldon. The assessment found that the site was just south of known prehistoric activity. The first document which shows the proposed development area is the 1587 Estate map which has the site within a medieval tenement block on the extreme eastern part of the village. It is possible that this site was also within the former Saxon settlement. There seems to have been little disturbance to the area in the post-medieval period except two possible small areas of recent quarrying and one small Victorian building now gone.
