SNN109193 - Archaeological Trial Trench Evaluation: Straight Furlong, Harborough Road, Desborough, Northamptonshire May 2012

An archaeological trial trench excavation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology at Harborough Road, Desborough Northamptonshire prior to the proposed development on the site. Thirteen trenches were excavated with twelve of the trenches revealing only the remains of ridge and furrow cultivation. Trench eleven was the only trench which contained archaeological features, three shallow gullies and a possible pit or ditch terminal, no finds were recovered from the fills. All the features were aligned in the same direction as the ridge and furrow which could indicate they are associated with the previous agriculture.
