ENN103202 - Wootton Fields, Northampton, 2001 (Geophysical survey)

The geophysical survey recorded anomalies that indicated significant archaeological features concentrated in the southwest corner of the study area. Evidence for medieval ridge and furrow cultivation was also detected. The subsequent evaluation confirmed the presence of ridge and furrow across the site. Although archaeological evidence across the area was generally sparse, with a few gullies and pits, a distinct area of activity was identified in the southwest corner as suggested by the geophysics. A complex of ditches, gullies and pits produced evidence of a Roman agricultural landscape dating to the 2nd to 3rd centuries.
