SNN70455 - Archaeological evaluation of land at Helmdon, Northants, April 1994

An archaeological evaluation comprising desktop assessment, earthworks survey and sample excavation was carried out on land to the rear of nos 47-55 Church Street, Helmdon, Northamptonshire. The study shows that the plot of land has a closely traceable but unexceptional descent from the medieval period. Sample excavation has confirmed the absence of significant settlement evidence, although a series of possible boundary ditches, probably of medieval date, and the remains of two walls were revealed in the southern part of the site.
