SNN107979 - Desk based assessment for land at 37 Station Road, Cogenhoe, Northamptonshire

The site is currently a house and garden and no part of the site falls within, or is adjacent to, a nationally designated site. There are two features noted in the Northants SMR that are related to this site: a snad quarry which encompassed most of the rear of the site, and the site of York's Coach garage which lies to the immediate west. The historic map evidence shows that the site was already established as a snad pit or quarry by the first quarter of the 17th century, which would have destroyed any earlier archaeological evidence for a substantial part of the site. The considerable dpeth of the quarry has been confirmed by a borehole survey undertaken to assess ground conditions for the proposed development. Several centuries of sand quarrying have taken place on the site and it is therefore unlikely that significant archaeological deposits survive.
