Abstract/Summary

Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook observation of groundworks for the construction of an access route, a garage and the connection of utilities in preparation for the conversion of a barn at Home Farm, Wicken Northamptonshire. This observation was designed to record, and to enhance the understanding of, any significant remains which may have been affected by the development. Boulder Clays and diamicton tills of the Oadby group were uncovered within the development area; an artificially enriched garden soil dating to the late 18th / early 19th century was identified, along with a cobbled yard surface abutting the eastern end of the barn, no other archaeological deposits or finds were recovered.
