SNN110696 - Archaeological excavation on land at Hill House, Denford, Northamptonshire, January 2016

In January 2016 MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) was commissioned by JD and KW Developments Ltd to carry out archaeological mitigation work of land at Hill House, Denford, Northamptonshire. The excavation area uncovered intermittent activity dating from the Iron Age to the modern period, as well as several undated features. Of the dated features, two ditches and two pits were identified as belonging to the Iron Age and Roman periods. Activity re-started in the 12th century and comprised a single pit and short segment of ditch. A well, waste pit and a further ditch belonged to the 15th century. These medieval features were presumably within a back plot fronting either Peg’s Lane or Chapel Lane.
