Digital Archive from an Archaeological Excavation and Watching Brief at M1 Dway Junction 16, Weedon Road, Harpole, West Northamptonshire 2017-2018

This digital archive contains images, reports, site records, spreadsheets, CAD and database data from an archaeological excavation and watching brief, undertaken by Oxford Archaeology at the site of a mixed residential and commercial development at along the M1 Dway Junction 16, Weedon Road, Harpole, West Northamptonshire. The location was of particular significance for its proximity to a Roman villa that lies immediately adjacent to the north.The archaeological mitigation strategy comprised five excavation areas where buried features identified by a geophysical survey and trial-trench evaluation would be impacted by intrusive groundworks associated with the development. During the excavation it became apparent that archaeological features were being exposed by stripping within the preservation area between Areas 3 and 4, and consequently a watching brief was undertaken in this area.
