Full Description
{1} In the southern portion of the field some anomalies and trends form a regular layout. This may be of archaeological interest, however, their precise function is difficult to define. The ground here was very uneven and many depressions were noted during scanning, suggesting this could be an area of quarrying and the archaeological type anomalies may be associated.
{2} Trenches 73 and 74 were partly excavated across a sharp break of slope and a levelled or reduced area. This corresponds to an ‘Old Quarry’ recorded on the OS 6” map (1882 and 1890). Numerous small quarries associated with limekilns can be seen on the same map within the fields surrounding Brackley.
