SNN112844 - Archaeological Observation: Moorgate Farm, Moorend Road, Yardley Gobion, Northamptonshire, NN12 7QG, November 2021

This report presents the results of a programme of Archaeological Observation undertaken by Border Archaeology on behalf of Mr F. Gorst in connection with the erection of an agricultural livestock building and associated works at Moorgate Farm Moorend Road Yardley Gobion Northamptonshire NN12 7QG (Planning Ref. S/2019/1579/FUL). The groundworks area measured approximately 100m × 21m (Trench 001) and was excavated by machine and toothless 1.8m bucket under continuous archaeological supervision down to the geological horizon; no subsoil was present. A northwest/southeast cultivation furrow was revealed towards the midpoint of the excavated area. The single fill contained no finds but was sealed by topsoil, suggesting a post-medieval date. No other archaeological finds or features were encountered.
