Abstract/Summary
Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out archaeological trial trench evaluation on land proposed for the Cross Valley Link Road, Upton, Northampton. The trial trenching revealed part of a possible late Bronze Age/early Iron Age to middle Iron Age pit alignment. There were also a series of ditches possibly of Roman or medieval date underlying a ridge and furrow landscape identified from geophysical survey and aerial photographs. A few sherds of Iron Age pottery were covered from two pits and medieval pottery was found in two ditches, together with a small flint flake.
