Abstract/Summary

A geophysical survey (fluxgate gradiometer and earth resistance meter) covering 0.5ha was carried out in Upper Boddington, Northamptonshire. Linear magnetic anomalies that are thought to be croft boundary ditches have been identified north of a possible sunken trackway. High resistance anomalies are broadly though to correspond to earthworks although one area in the south of the site contains both magnetic and high resistance anomalies that do not corrspond to any upstanding remains. Documentary evidence suggests that quarrying has taken place in the southern part of the site but there is no geophysical evidence for this.
