SNN112592 - A6 Rothwell and Desborough Bypass, Archaeological Assessment; Stage 3, Volume 2, January 2001

A third stage of archaeological assessment was undertaken along the line of the proposed A6 Rothwell and Desborough Bypass. This followed initial assessments undertaken in 1992 and comprised a new search of the Sites and Monuments Record, an examination of aerial photographs, a geophysical reconnaissance, and further surface collection. The results suggest that two new sites may be added to the four potential archaeological sites discovered in the earlier work: an earlier prehistoric site indicated by a dense spread of worked flint; and a medieval site indicated by a concentration of pottery.
