Abstract/Summary
A detailed geophysical survey was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology on behalf of ProLogis Developments Ltd on land with an area of approximately 8.5 hectares to the south of the A45, at Irchester Roman Town. Preospection revealed that the site was divided into two zones. The lower, western zone contained magnetic anomalies which described an apparent north-south orientated road or track, to the east of which was detected a sub-rectangular area of 1.2ha of irregularly gridded ditched enclosures interspersed with pits and four possible ovens or kilns. A putative roundhouse and rectangular building were also detected to the south of the main enclosures. The eastern up-slope zone, was dominated by shallow geological features and quarrying.
