Description
The western SMS area uncovered a late Bronze Age pit and an early Roman landscape boundary and pit, whilst the eastern mitigation area investigated an enclosed middle Iron Age settlement, comprised of a number of enclosures, ring ditches and pit groups within a series of shifting boundary ditches, as well as an early Roman enclosure system, probably related to the hinterland of the nearby Roman town at Irchester. Also identified during excavations were isolated Neolithic pits, Bronze Age funerary remains and a single Saxon sunken featured building.
