SNN105009 - Proposed A509 Isham Bypass, Northamptonshire: Archaeological Evaluation, October 2004

Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological trail tench evaluation, during September and October 2004, on a proposed western route of the A509 Isham Bypass. Ditches and pits were found mainly in a restricted area near the southern end of the corridor. A small quantity of Iron Age pottery, an almost complete Saxon vessel, and some animal bone were recovered from these features. Together with charred plants from soil samples, the remains suggest the presence of Iron Age and early-middle Saxon occupation. Most of the rest of the corridor revealed little of archaeological significance.
