Description

A geophysical survey was undertaken on Jubilee Field, Upper Boddington, Northamptonshire covering an area of approx 1ha in the north-east of the village on the site of the intended village park to the south of Townsend Lane. A series of linear and recti-linear magnetic anomalies were detected in two areas demoting possibly the locations of medieval toft/close boundaries of probable Saxo-Norman date. These are situated along the north-eastern and south-western area of the site and appear to be associated with an irregular trackway aligned from the south-east to the north-west of the field. The centre of the site is bisected by another larger unrelated hollow way probably dating from the high medieval period.
