Site Data from an Archaeological Excavation at Dodford Wharf Farm, Weedon, Northamptonshire 2021

This collection comprises of GIS and image data from an archaeological strip, map and sample excavation on land at Dodford Wharf Farm, Weedon, Northamptonshire, undertaken In May and June 2021, by Cotswold Archaeology. An area of 0.058ha was excavated in the north-western part of the site, targeted upon a ring ditch identified by a previous geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation. During the current works the ring ditch was exposed and excavated but no artefactual material was retrieved from the ditch. A short section of ditch and three pits were also revealed near the centre of the ring ditch. One of the pits produced a single sherd of possible Early Iron Age pottery, while a small quantity of likely prehistoric but otherwise undiagnostic flint chips or flakes were present in another. Plant macrofossils indicative of dumped domestic hearth waste and quantities of hazelnut shell were also recovered.
