SNN109200 - The Excavation of Romano-British Features on Land at Nene Business Park, Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire June 2010-December 2011

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology on behalf of CgMs Consulting acting for their clients Eastern Range Limited between June 2010 and December 2011 during groundworks for a new business development on land at Nene Business Park, Irthlingborough. The work comprised observation of topsoil and subsoil stripping across the site down to formation levels along with the excavation of two balancing ponds and service trenches. In the south-western corner of the site, adjacent to a Scheduled Monument, pits and ditches associated with Iron Age pottery were recorded. Whilst in the north-eastern corner a wall foundation of probable Romano-British date was recorded close to the Scheduled Monument of Crow Hill. Throughout the remainder of the site undisturbed soils were recorded.
