SNN112627 - Archaeological Excavation and Strip, Map and Sample on land at Upton Park, South of Weedon Road, Northamptonshire: Updated Project Design

MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) was commissioned by RPS Group PLC, on behalf of Morris Homes, to undertake an archaeological excavation and strip, map and sample on land at Upton Park south of Weedon Road, Northampton. The excavation areas targeted known anomalies identified during the geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation. Archaeological remains included a probable barrow monument, Iron Age pits as part of two sinuous pit alignments with associated gullies and ditches, and a Roman trackway within the western part of the development area. Medieval drainage ditches and field systems relating to part of the medieval settlement of Upton lay within the eastern part of the development area.
