SNN110904 - Archaeological Observation and Recording in advance of sewer replacement work on land north-west of Kettering, 2013

Between the 5th October and 6th of December 2012 Oxford Archaeology East monitored topsoil and subsoil stripping in advance of the installation of a new sewer pipe on land to the NW of Kettering. The works involve the construction of a sewer pipeline through the southern extent of Northfield Avenue and backing off to follow the western side of the Slade Brook, terminating within allotment gardens to the south of the A43 north of Furnace Lane, Kettering a distance of c675m. No archaeology was recorded on the route of this part of the pipeline although major disturbance and truncation by modern intervention was noted on almost the entire length of the area monitored.
