SNN111207 - Farm building to the rear of 1 Kelmarsh Road, Clipston, Northamptonshire: An archaeological observation report

This report describes the results of an archaeological observation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology at 1 Kelmarsh Road, Clipston, Northamptonshire (NGR SP 71469 81417). The observation occurred between the 24th March and the 20th of April 2016. The archaeological work was commissioned by Tew and Smith Architects and Surveyors. The proposed development will comprise the construction of a new building with associated services as well as the removal of contaminated ground in the vicinity of the development. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. A single undated feature, possibly a pit, was located to the south of the site and a small number of post-medieval finds were retrieved during the monitoring works. Although the site is within an area of potential archaeological significance, the works only revealed a sequence of natural layers, buried colluvium and overlying modern disturbance.
