Monument record 9593 - Possible Prehistoric Activity

Cropmarks of two possible prehistoric enclosures as well as pit groups and a possible quarry pit identified on aerial photographs during the Northants NMP. A Late Iron Age ditch situated in the east was found by trial trenching.

{1} In 2024, Polyalbion Archaeology, found evidence for a Late Iron Age ditch. There was also evidence of the ditch being recut twice. In the intermediate layers of silting contained nearly 2kg of late Iron Age pottery, clearly dumped in along the ditch's southern edge. The presence and distribution of this pottery suggests occupation and a further examination of the geophysics reveals a series of low key signals further south that could indicate possible pot enclosures.
