SNN105237 - Archaeological Earthwork Survey at Salcey Forest, Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by the Forestry Commission to carry out a measured earthwork survey in Salcey Forest. The survey was undertqken within a 24 hectare area in the northern part of the forest. Under closer scrutiny was a smaller mitigation area where the forestry commission planned to erect a canopy walkway. The features recorded included early banks and medieval coppice earthworks, as well as probable later features such as ponds and ditches. It appeareed that the proposed development would have an impact on the archaeology.
