SNN100591 - Covert Farm (DIRFT East), Crick, Northamptonshire: An Archaeological Watching Brief For Tesco Stores Ltd

IN March 2000 a watching brief was carried out by Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit (BUFAU) on the site of a distribution centre for Tesco Stores Limited at Crick, Northamptonshire (NGR: SP 572734). The watching brief monitored the topsoil strip of the site. The work followed a major programme of excavation on an extensive Iron Age settlement undertaken by BUFAU in 1997 and 1998 as part of the development of the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal. The watching brief recorded the continuation of archaeological features dating to the Iron Age beyond the limits of the previous excavation in Zone E, while medieval or later landscape features were noted elsewhere.
