Description

{1} MOLA was commissioned to carry out a detailed magnetometer survey on c2.4ha of land north of Moulton Lane, Boughton, Northamptonshire. The survey identified a probable prehistoric ring ditch and a few other features of possible archaeological significance. A rectilinear pattern of magnetic anomalies was also detected across the site, but this is thought to represent a set of natural fissures in the underlying ironstone.
