Description

{1} A watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of part of a cable trench within the Nene Valley at Irthlingborough. The only features observed during the first part of the investigation related to the use and disuse of a railway embankment. Further excavation exposed a transect across part of an extensive area of Iron Age-early Roman settlement that had previously been identified in this part of the valley.
