Abstract/Summary
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook an archaeological evaluation of Great Billing Sand and Gravel Extraction and Restoration, Northampton, between 15th February and 4th April 2017. The work was commissioned by WYG Environment, Planning and Transport Ltd on behalf of their client Peter Brett Associates LLP in response to planning requirements for the proposed sand and gravel extraction works. The evaluation identified ditches, several discrete pits, probable post holes and a high volume of furrows. The site is interpreted as having a long agricultural history prior to its use as part of Northampton’s sewage works.
