SNN105415 - Archaeological Fieldwalking, Geophysical Survey and Trial Trench Evaluation on Land West of Kettering, Northamptonshire October-November 2005

Northamptonshire Archaeology conducted fieldwalking, geophysical and trial trench surveys on four fields covering 19 ha of land west of Kettering. The fieldwalking resulted in the recovery of very few surface finds. Reconnaissance geophysical survey identified a few anomalies of interest. Sample detailed survey over the scanned anomalies detected subtle variation in the local geology in Field 1, whereas in Field 2 possible glacial fissuring was identified. A single potential archaeological linear ditch was located in the north of Field 2. Four trial trenches targeted on these anomalies failed to reveal any features of archaeological interest.
