Description
A magnetometer geophysical survey was undertaken by AB Heriage at the former RAF Desborough Airfield, Kettering, Northamptonshire. The report has identified potential archaeological features within Fields 1 [GP1-b and c] and Field 4 [GP1-g], possibly some form of enclosures in these area that may relate to previously recorded Prehistoric and/or Roman activity within the site limits. In addition, a number of positive linear features [GP 1-a, d-f, and h-j], while potentially relating to more modern activity, could also reflect the presence of archaeological features dating to the prehistoric and Roman periods.
