SNN107893 - Watford Gap Renewable Energy Park, Northamptonshire: Archaeological Evaluation Report

Twenty five trial trenches were excavated ahead of submission of a planning application for a windfarm. Seven archaeological features were revealed (including a single ditch recorded in both trenches 16 and 17). Of these 4 were clearly related as part of a cultivation system in trench 8. Two further ditches were recorded in trenches 10 and 19. Two of the ditches are positively dated and interpreted as post medieval field boundaries and while a small quantity of abraded probably Roman pottery was recovered from one of the other features they may be medieval or post medieval in origin. Evidence for ridge and furrow cultivation was also recorded in the southern and eastern areas of the site.
