SNN112017 - Archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Thenford Road, Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire, March 2020

MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) was commissioned by Manor Oak Homes, to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation south of Thenford Road, Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire. The remains of post-medieval quarrying and backfill were discovered in six of the trenches. The shallow remains of ridge and furrow cultivation and a modern ditch were the only features identified within two of the trenches nearest to the Thenford Road. The remains of demolished farm buildings and evidence of the new development were noted in Trench 3. Examination of the remaining topsoil and subsoil revealed infrequent inclusions of modern material.
