SNN110489 - Elton 2, Warmington, Northamptonshire: Geophysical Survey

In February 2016, Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out a magnetic gradiometer survey at Elton 2, Warmington, Northamptonshire (NGR TL 07096 91909). The survey identified a complex network of natural channels relating to previous courses and activity of the River Nene, which bounds the site on all sides. Among these channels were some adjoining the northern boundary which represent the previous course of the river prior to canalisation during the 18th century. Also present were numerous large discrete features which are likely to represent tree root hollows, although an archaeological origin cannot be ruled out.
