The excavation area was located in the south-eastern part of the development, targeting a north-west/south- east orientated ditch identified during previous evaluation of the site. Archaeological interest in the site is derived from its location within an area of extensive cropmarks identified through aerial photography. The Northamptonshire Historic Environment Record records numerous prehistoric, Roman, medieval and modern sites within the immediate vicinity of the site. A previous evaluation of the site, carried out by Cotswold Archaeology (2018), identified two broadly north/south orientated ditches. Worked flint and several pieces of animal bone were recovered from the fill of the southernmost ditch. The excavation, which covered an area of approximately 0.03ha, identified a single ditch containing pottery of post-medieval date. The ditch fits within a landscape of long straight post-medieval field boundaries imposed upon an earlier medieval field system. It corresponds with the general alignment of these surrounding field systems as depicted on historic and current Ordnance Survey mapping, which predominantly relate to Parliamentary Enclosure. As such it is considered likely that the ditch formed a part of this post-medieval to modern field system. No feature corresponding with the ditch recorded during the previous evaluation were identified during the excavation. 3 © Cotswold Archaeology Land adjacent to 31 Hardwick Road, Little Harrowden, Northamptonshire: Archaeological Strip, Map and Sample 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In April 2019, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological strip, map and sample excavation of land adjacent to 31 Hardwick Road, Little Harrowden, Northamptonshire (centred at NGR: 486802 271130; Fig. 1). The investigation was commissioned by Seagrave Developments. 4 © Cotswold Archaeology Land adjacent to 31 Hardwick Road, Little Harrowden, Northamptonshire: Archaeological Strip, Map and Sample 1.2 Planning permission for residential development of the site has been granted by the Borough Council of Wellingborough (BCW; the local planning authority) conditional on a programme of archaeological works. 1.3 The scope of the archaeological work, which comprised a strip, map and sample excavation of a 0.3ha area of land, was defined during discussions between Seagrave Developments Ltd and Liz Mordue, Northamptonshire County Council’s Assistant Archaeological Advisor (NCCAAA; the archaeological advisor to BCW). These discussions were informed by an archaeological evaluation carried out by Cotswold Archaeology (2018). 1.4 The excavation was undertaken in accordance with a detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2019) and approved by Liz Mordue. The fieldwork also followed Standard and Guidance: Archaeological Excavation (CIfA 2014); the Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MORPHE): Project Manager’s Guide and accompanying PPN3: Archaeological Excavation (Historic England 2015). It was monitored by Liz Mordue, including a site visit on 24th April 2019. The site 1.5 The development site is approximately 0.9ha in area, situated to the immediate south-west of the village of Little Harrowden and approximately 2km north-west of Wellingborough. The excavation area is situated in the south-eastern corner of the development site, which comprises parts of two fields, the northernmost of which is currently under pasture, with the southernmost utilised for arable farming (Fig. 2). The site is bounded to the north-west by properties and associated rear gardens fronting on to Hardwick Road, to the east and south by farmland, currently utilised as pasture and arable respectively and to the west by Hardwick Road, with fields beyond. The site lies at approximately 90m above Ordnance Datum (aOD) in the north, rising gently to 93m aOD in the south. 1.6 The underlying bedrock geology of the area is mapped as Northampton Sand Formation, ooidal ironstone, of the Jurassic Period. No overlying superficial deposits are recorded within the site (BGS 2019). Silty sand ironstone brash overlain by a layer of natural clay was encountered during fieldwork. 5 Site, looking south Site, looking north Andover 01264 347630 Cirencester 01285 771022 Exeter 01392 573970 Cotswold Milton Keynes 01908 564660 Archaeology Suffolk 01449 900120 w www.cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk e enquiries @ cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk PROJECT TITLE Land adjacent to Hardwick road, Little Harrowden, Wellingborough FIGURE TITLE Site DRAWN BY AW PROJECT NO.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 All of the Heritage Environmental Record (HER) data held by the Northamptonshire HER was requested for a 1km area, centred on the site (Event UID: ENN109131). The data was synthesised, with those historic environment records considered most pertinent to excavation discussed below, along with the findings from the previous evaluation (CA 2018). HER record numbers are included in parenthesis. 2.2 Previous archaeological investigation within the site, comprising the excavation of four evaluation trenches, was conducted by CA in 2018. The evaluation identified two broadly north/south orientated ditches, the southernmost ditch (303; Plate 1) contained

  • The Plan for the Borough of Wellingborough: Background Paper
    Appendix 3 Settlement Hierarchy The Plan for the Borough of Wellingborough: Background Paper Date: October 2015 Swanspool House, Doddington Road, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, NN8 1BP Tel: 01933 229777 DX 12865 www.wellingborough.gov.uk 1. Introduction 1.1 The settlement hierarchy is a key part of the new local plan evidence base. The new local plan will be formed of two parts. Part 1 of the new local plan comprises the emerging Joint Core Strategy (JCS) that includes high level strategic policies. The Plan for the Borough of Wellingborough (PBW) will form Part 2 of the new local plan and will provide more locally specific policies. 1.2 The aim of this background paper is to assess whether there is any requirement for the PBW to consider the inclusion of specific detailed policy on settlement hierarchy, further to that provided in the policies of the emerging JCS. 1.3 A settlement hierarchy is a way of categorising the boroughs settlements to recognise their different roles. A hierarchy groups together the settlements that have similar characteristics. At the top of the hierarchy are the larger settlements that fulfil most functions, have the best infrastructure (facilities and services) and are most easy to get to by sustainable forms of travel. The smaller settlements, with least functions, infrastructure and transport links, are nearer the bottom of the hierarchy. This helps us decide how to sustainably distribute development between settlements. 1.4 In order to fulfil the aim of this paper the following steps will be completed; • Examination of local and national policy • Desk top examination of settlements in the borough • Collection of evidence through a parish council questionnaire and site visits • Review of responses to the Issues and Options Consultation • Identification and analysis of available options • Recommendations 2.
