SNN105800 - Watching Brief: Weedon Lois Reinforcement Main, Northamptonshire

A watching brief was carried out by ASC Ltd along the route of a 1.5km long reinforcement water main located east of the villages of Maidford and Adstone in Northamptonshire. Topsoil was not stripped from the easement and archaeological monitoring was limited to examination of the 300mm wide pipe trench, directional drilling access pits and upcast. Archaeological finds or features were not observed during the watching brief. However, it is uncertain whether the absence of find and features truly reflects the extent of past human activity in this area or results from the limited area examined.
