SNN110519 - An Archaeological desk-based assessment at School Lane, Harpole, Northamptonshire, December 2015

MOLA Northampton conducted an archaeological desk-based heritage assessment of land at School Lane, Harpole, Northamptonshire. No designated heritage assets are present within the site, although Harpole Conservation Area and a number of Listed Buildings lie within the core of the village to the east. No known archaeological work has previously taken place on the site. There is a significant Roman presence in the area, with villas known to lie to the north and south of Harpole and finds dating to the period are recorded to have been found close by. Substantial medieval ridge and furrow is present around the village but it has not been observed on the site. The HER notes the location of a number of spotfinds of Roman to post-medieval date, the locations of which are uncertain.
