SNN111081 - Archaeological investigation: 38 Cosgrove Road, Old Stratford, Northamptonshire, 2018

Archaeological monitoring was carried out during preparation for a new house at 38 Cosgrove Road, Old Stratford, Northamptonshire. On account of the site's proximity to Watling Street (course of Roman road) and find-spots of Roman artefacts, it was considered to have the potential to contain buried remains that may contribute to our understanding of the origins and development of Roman road-side settlement at Old Stratford. The soil strip revealed a truncated post-medieval stone field drain, which was probably associated with the inclosure of Cosgrove's medieval open fields in the 18th century. There were no earlier archaeological features. Neither were there any artefacts present.
