SNN75765 - Land off Main Road, Crick, Northamptonshire: An Archaeological Evaluation

Archaeological field evaluation was carried out in January 1997 on an area of proposed development for residential use (c.6ha). The western quarter of the site, including both the area earmarked for public open space and part of that for residential use, are occupied by earthworks which probably form part of the original medieval village of Crick. Seven trial trenches were opened, the purpose of which was to determine the presence, extent, condition, character and date of the archaeological deposits. The evaluation established that there is a concentration of well preserved archaeological features within the western part of the development area, possibly associated with a north-west to south-east running medieval street. The activity appears to date mainly to the 13th and 14th centuries.
