Monument record 2332 - Possible Iron Age settlement

Possible site of an Iron Age settlement suggested by fragments of Iron Age pottery, three flint scrapers and cropmarks of a sub-rectangular enclosure, a pit alignment and linear ditches. Further cropmarks, including linear ditches and a further pit alignment, were identified during the Northamptonshire NMP project.
