SNN107613 - Land at 21 Stamford Lane, Warmington, Northamptonshire: An Archaeological Evaluation

In April 2011 Archaeological Solutions carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at 21 Stamford Lane, Warmington. The evaluation was undertaken in complianance with the pre-determination requirement of planning, in advance of the determination of an application to construct three dwellings. The site is situated in Warmington, on Stamford Lane which follows the course of a major Roman road running from Water Newton to Thrapston. Warmington is documented from AD655 onwards. The site had a potential for prehistoric, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval archaeological remains. In the event the evaluation revealed Roman and early modern features. The dating of ditch F1006 is tentative (based on one Roman sherd). It may be associated with the undated postholes but the suggestion is speculative. The majority of features were 18th-19th century, and the cluster of five intercutting pits may have been quarry pits.
