Abstract/Summary
During March 2017, Benchmark Archaeology (BA) undertook a programme of Archaeological Observation, Investigation and Recording (hereinafter AWB) on land at Pastures Farm, 600 Station Road, Grendon, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, NN7 1JD (NGR: 486344 261501, Figures 1 and 2, Plate 1). Planning permission was granted by the Borough Council of Wellingborough for the erection of a grain store on the site (Planning Ref: WP/16/00476/FUL). The work was commissioned and funded by John Skinner. The site lies within an area of archaeological potential. Due to the archaeological potential of the site the Assistant Archaeological Advisor (AAA), Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) recommended that a programme of AWB be undertaken on the site during groundworks with the potential to expose, truncate or destroy deposits of archaeological significance. Prior to the fieldwork a Project Design (Cherrington 2017) specifying the methodology to be employed during the AWB was produced as a requirement of the document entitled ‘Brief For A Programme Of Archaeological Observation, Investigation, Recording, Analysis And Publication Of Works At Pastures Farm, Station Road, Grendon, Northamptonshire’ issued by the AAA, NCC. The AWB was successful in its aim of providing a written, drawn and photographic record of the features and deposits encountered during development. The only features recorded were modern in date and comprised three land drains (103, 104 and 105). A modern deposit (102) was recorded to the northeast of the grain store footprint. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were recorded and no pre-modern finds were recovered.
