Archaeology
A6 Rushden and Higham Ferrers Bypass
Introduction
The Highways Agency is committed to protecting the environment, including our archaeological heritage, and mitigating the effects of its projects on it.
The bypass scheme will remove a significant amount of traffic from the towns of Rushden and Higham Ferrers, reducing the number of accidents and improving the environment within them.
The land around Higham Ferrers and Rushden is known to be rich in archaeological remains dating to the prehistoric, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. When the decision was taken to construct the new bypass to the east of the towns there was always the possibility of new sites being found.
