SNN110416 - Archaeological geophysical survey of land north of Rothwell, Northamptonshire October 2015

In 2006, Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to conduct a sample geophysical survey across parts of a proposed development site north of Rothwell, Northamptonshire. Magnetometer scanning and detailed magnetometer survey lead to the discovery of an extensive settlement complex of presumed Iron Age or Roman date, overlain by medieval ridge and furrow, a post-medieval barn and other agricultural remains. In 2015 MOLA Northampton, the successor organisation to Northamptonshire Archaeology, was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to survey the remaining parts of the development area. Further remains of probable Iron Age or Roman date were found, lying to the east of the previously discovered site.
