CLASP – COMMUNITY LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY PROJECT:
AN OVERVIEW OF OUR WORK
Dave Hayward MBE
CLASP, a registered charity, is a community based archaeological group based in the west of Northamptonshire. The membership consists of both individual members and local groups with a historical interest. CLASP began in 2002
stemming from the short lived Friends of the Upper Nene Archaeological Group which in turn had its roots in the still extant Whitehall Roman Villa archaeological project at Nether Heyford. Dave Hayward is the Chair of Trustees of CLASP and in this article he writes about some of their projects
