Those who came on the walks on 24th July and 13th September this year will know that there is work going on within the bounds of the Registered Battlefield of Edgcote. This involves the burying of a large area of the medieval battlefield under an enormous pile of waste soil generated by the construction of HS2 in the area. I will be appearing on the BBC Radio Northampton breakfast show just after 7am on Thursday, 18th September, to discuss what has happened and what could be done about it.
Update: The interview on the radio is now available on catch up. I am on at 7:10am. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002j7vw
The BBC also ran an article on the Northamptonshire local news section: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9qnxwewelpo

NBS Chair, Graham Evans, points at the large mound of earth on the Culworth side of the battlefield during the recent walk.
The size of the mound is much clearer from this picture, taken from near the tree in the middle of the previous photo. The fence line across the middle is closer to the natural ground level.
