Description
{1} Between 21st August and 2nd October 2012, Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological evaluation (Phase A) of a c.350ha proposed development on land east of Kettering, Northamptonshire. This comprised the excavation of 253 trenches, each 50m long (with the exception of one 40m trench) over c.205ha of land. The evaluation identified eight distinct areas of activity, most of which dated to the Later Iron Age and Earlier Roman periods. These areas correspond well with those suggested by the geophysical survey, but appear to bear little relationship to the geological or topographical setting.
