ENN104987 - Land off West Street, 2009 (Fieldwalking survey)

An archaeological evaluation comprising geophysical survey and fieldwalking was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology in November 2009 at land at Woodford, Kettering. The work was undertaken for CgMs Consulting in advance of a proposed development . The evaluation found scatters of middle Iron Age and Romano-British pottery. The Iron Age pottery might possibly be associated with fragmentary features identified by the geophysical survey, whilst the Romano-British pottery is more likely to derive from agricultural manuring. Medieval and post-medieval pottery scatters were present and also probably derive from manuring practices. Ploughed-out ridge and furrow cultivation was identified by the geophysical survey and it is likely that from at least the medieval period onwards the land has been constantly given over to agriculture.
