SNN63076 - A43 Silverstone Bypass Archaeological Desk Top Assessment, October 1996

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, and an assessment of the historic map and field name evidence revealed no known archaeological site within a 200m corridor along the published route of the A43 Silverstone bypass although the line of the Roman road from Towcester to Alchester passes close by. Undetected sites, may, however, be present. Recommendations are made for further work.
