Description

{1} Geophysical survey was undertaken on 49 hectares of land north east of Daventry. The survey area was magnetically scanned and detailed geophysical (fluxgate gradiometer) survey of 7.5ha was subsequently carried out to examine defined targets. The detailed survey defines the location of a small settlement, of probable late Iron Age or Romano-British date, which is located immediately north west of Middlemoor Farm. Other magnetic anomalies indicate that cut and infilled features are present in the south east of the survey area although these may be contemporary with the construction of Daventry reservoir.
