Description
{1} Between July and December 2014 Albion Archaeology undertook open-area excavation in advance of residential development at Radstone Fields, Brackley. An area of c 7ha was excavated exposing a large unenclosed middle Iron Age settlement. The settlement extended over an area of c 4ha and broadly followed the crest of the ridgeline running northeast-southwest across the excavation area. It was characterised by roundhouses, ditched enclosures, post-built structures and an abundance of storage pits. In addition, six stone-lined pits, two stone surfaces and a stone-lined ditch were uncovered. [Excavation area taken from WSI, so may be not be correct]
