SNN112837 - Archaeological Evaluation at East Northants Resource Management Facility Proposed Extension, Northamptonshire

MOLA Northampton was commissioned by Andrew Josephs Associates to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation at East Northants Resource Management Facility Proposed Extension, Kings Cliffe, Northamptonshire. The evaluation comprised the excavation of fifty 50m x 1.8m trial trenches. The results of the evaluation indicated low levels of agricultural activity concentrated in two distinct areas of the site. In one area, evidence was found for two ditches which may form part of a larger late Roman enclosure. This enclosure was in use for a relatively short period, perhaps for stock management. Potential evidence for small-scale charcoal production was also encountered, though the date of this activity remains unknown.
