SNN111376 - Land adjacent to Hardwick Road, Little Harrowden, Northamptonshire: Archaeological Evaluation

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2018 at land adjacent to Hardwick Road, Little Harrowden, Northamptonshire. The evaluation was undertaken to inform an outline application for the residential development of the site. The fieldwork comprised the excavation of four trenches. Archaeological interest in the site is derived from its location within an area of extensive cropmarks identified through aerial photography. The Northamptonshire Historic Environment Record records numerous prehistoric, Roman, medieval and modern sites within the immediate vicinity of the site. The evaluation identified two broadly north/south orientated ditches. Worked flint and several pieces of animal bone were recovered from the fill of the southernmost ditch. This is likely to represent an agricultural drainage and/or boundary feature.
