SNN63072 - A6 Rushden And Higham Ferrers Bypass: Archaeological Desk Top Assessment

A desk top assessment, comprising an examination of the geology and topography, the mapping of the current land use, the extraction of data from the County Sites and Monuments Record, the examination of aerial photographs and an assessment of the historic map and field name evidence has revealed a total of four known archaeological sites within a 200m wide corridor along the published route of the A6 Rushden and Higham Ferrers bypass and a further two sites immediately outside the corridor. Further, as yet undetected, sites may be present. Recommendations are made for further work.
