SNN110865 - A strip, map and sample investigation at 23 Bedford Road, Little Houghton Northamptonshire October 2012

A strip, map and sample investigation was undertaken by MOLA, (formerly Northamptonshire Archaeology), in October 2012, in advance of groundworks for the construction of a new dwelling on land at 23 Bedford Road, Little Houghton, Northamptonshire. Three ditches were recorded from which pottery dating from between the Iron Age and 3rd century AD was recovered. A copper alloy spoon, which whilst stylistically is of 14th century date, was also recovered associated with late Iron Age/Romano-British pottery. A Victorian rubbish pit was recorded cutting one of the ditches, with further evidence of Victorian rubbish disposal at the north of the investigation area
