SNN103873 - Middle Iron Age Occupation at Mawsley New Village, Cransley Lodge, Kettering, Northamptonshire

A series of middle Iron Age circular structures comprising an unenclosed occupation site with at least two phases of activity, were radio-carbon dated to a period between the 4th and the 1st centuries BC. There was some evidence of metal working on the site. A similar group of features was revealed by geophysical survey within an enclosure, just to the east of the excavated site. A very small quantity of late Iron Age material was recovered from features unrelated to the occupation area, while a series of shallow linear features, cutting across the site may be Iron Age date bu are more likely to be the remains of medieval cultivation.
