SNN111962 - An Archaeological Evaluation on land at the Proposed Harrington Wind Farm, Draughton, Northamptonshire

John Moore Heritage Services conducted an archaeological evaluation of fifteen trenches on land at the proposed Harrington Wind Farm. The evaluation revealed a series of ditches dating from the middle to late Iron Age to the east of the reservoir in the location for Turbine 6 and one gully which is possibly slightly later in Trench 15, the site of the proposed compound. A number of undated ditches, gullies and postholes were revealed in the locations for Turbines 7, 1 and 3. The trenches to the west of the reservoir, the proposed positions for Turbines 5, 4 and 2 failed to produce any activity apart from agricultural evidence in the form of a furrow in the location for Turbine 5. Turbine 6 was expected to have the most archaeological potential. This was confirmed in the evaluation. Observations made suggests the presence of a worked flint scatter to the west of the main access road and between the locations of Turbine 6 and Turbine 1 which could be indicative of further sub surface features beyond those areas investigated.
