{1In March 2017 an archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out by MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) for CgMs Consulting on land at Towcester South, Phase 1 development. A single trench was positioned to intersect with an anomaly identified by earlier geophysical survey. The works identified pits and ditches most likely associated with the late Iron Age to early Roman settlement identified by geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation on the ridge to the south-east of the development.
