SNN111065 - Land at No 46c Oxford Street, Wellingborough: Archaeological monitoring & inspection of Environmental Risk Assessment trenches

On the 30th of January 2018, archaeological monitoring and inspection was carried out by Souterrain during the excavation of four Environmental Risk Assessment trenches at 46C Oxford Street, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The site is located in the historic core of the town, in a postulated zone of medieval tenements. The area of ground investigation was surveyed, photographed and the nature and depth of deposits recorded. The sequence of deposits revealed 19th / 20th century deposits directly overlaying an upper geological stratum. Historic buried soils of archaeological interest were absent and no significant artefacts were present. Based on the results of the inspection, it is reasonably concluded that there is little likelihood of any remains of archaeological significance at the Application Site.
