SNN112985 - Images and GIS data from an Archaeological Evaluation at Rowtree Park, Collingtree, Northamptonshire (Phase 1) 2019

This collection comprises images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation (Phase 1) carried out by Cotswold Archaeology at Rowtree Park, Collingtree, Northamptonshire in November 2019, to comply with a planning condition for the redevelopment of the site. Thirty-five trenches (Phase 1) of the proposed 55 trenches were opened with the remaining 20 trenches to be opened and reported on (Phase 2). Of the 35 trenches excavated across the site only two trenches contained features of archaeological interest, a ditch and a pit both containing single sherds of abraded pottery, the former dated to the Late Iron Age/early Roman period and the latter to the Roman period. The results from the first phase of trenching confirm that there was very little evidence for activity of archaeological interest across this site. The limited archaeological features revealed, evidenced the levels of truncation on the site and confirm that there was little evidence for archaeological activity across the site. The results of the evaluation, combined with results of previous investigations suggest a limited potential for further archaeological features to be present within the site. The evaluation revealed extensive landscaping across the site associated with the golf course; given the level of truncation to the site any further peripheral archaeological features which may have been present on site are likely to have suffered truncation, or been removed entirely by landscaping associated with the golf course.
