Abstract/Summary
MOLA carried out a programme of archaeological mitigation works on land at Rushden Hospital, Rushden, Northamptonshire during February 2014. The excavation revealed a semi-circular gully and associated postholes which were of probable Iron Age date although no dating evidence was recovered. Two poorly preserved inhumation burials may have been of Roman or early medieval date. There were remnant furrows of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation and a ditch on the same alignment was probably of medieval origin. This ditch was retained as a boundary feature up to the middle of the 20th century even following the introduction of a system of ditches set at right angles to it.
