SNN108280 - Archaeological Investigation on land at Horsefords, Poplars Farm, Tansor, Northamptonshire

A programme of archaeological investigations was undertaken on land at Horsefords, Poplars Farm, Tansor, Northamptonshire. The investigations, comprising a strip, map and sample programme, were undertaken in advance of the construction of an agricultural building. The site lies in an area of cropmarks of probable prehistoric and Romano-British (AD43-410) origin. The cropmarks include enclosures and trackways as well as a possible Bronze Age (2200-800BC) ring ditch and a possible Neolithic (4000 – 2200BC) causewayed enclosure. A Neolithic polished stone axe has also been retrieved from the vicinity. The investigation revealed natural, undated and recent deposits. An undated ditch was recorded which is likely to be of some antiquity. No other features were recorded and no finds retrieved during the investigation.
