SNN109690 - Trial Trench Evaluation on Land at Former Abington Vale School, Northampton, March 2014

MOLA was commissioned to carry out archaeological tiral trenching on land at the former Abington Vale School, Northampton prior to proposed development of the site. Ten trenches were excavated. Modern terracing, levelling and landscaping has destroyed much of the original ground surface across the site. Two undated archaeological features were investigated in those areas least disturbed by the modern activity. The larger feature with its steep sides and flat base may relate to the nearby ponds of medieval origin in Abington Park.
