Description

MOLA was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out archaeological trial trenching on land west of Banbury Lane, Kings Sutton, Northamptonshire prior to proposed development of the site. Eight trenches were excavated. Most features were undated, though pottery recovered from a ditch was possibly dated to the late Iron Age/early Roman. Two ditches were a continuation of ditches associated with Iron Age settlement to the east. An undated ditch is likely to be a boundary aligned north-east to south-west. Features associated with roundhouse structures were found in the north-west and central areas of the site. Most features are associated with the Iron Age settlement immediately to the east and south. Possible surviving medieval ridge and furrow cultivation was found in the south-western area of the site. Information from OASIS Online Form.
