Trent & Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Archaeological Project Services (APS) to conduct a geophysical survey at the site of Hanslope Road, Hartwell, Northamptonshire. The work was carried out between the 23rd and 24th April 2014 following the methodology detailed in the WSI (APS 2014), in accordance with standard, accepted practices for archaeological geophysical surveys (EH 2008). The site is situated on deposits of Blisworth Limestone/Blisworth Clay Formations, with superficial Oadby Member deposits. The site was composed of two discrete areas within the fields to the east of Hanslope Road, Hartwell, Northamptonshire. These areas were treated separately in post-survey processing. Geophysical survey demonstrated the presence of potential buried archaeological features, these comprised: A probable building (likely to be of Mediaeval date) in Area 1. Probable field/yard boundaries in Area 1. A probable building (likely to be of Mediaeval date) in Area 2. Possible evidence of field boundaries, agricultural activity or track-borders in both areas.
