SNN106534 - Archaeological evaluation for the Deanshanger to Greatworth AWS Pipeline near Evenley, Northamptonshire, August 2009

The evaluation investigated a stretch of the pipeline between the A422 east of Brackley, and the village of Evenley. To the east of South Ground Covert a small ditch was encountered, which probably relates to an extensive area of cropmarks immediately to the west of the pipeline route. Further to the north, on the edge of the floodplain of the River Great Ouse, excavation and map evidence has identified the site of Evenley Mill and established that the linear ditch and earthwork in the pasture field is the former course of the mill leat. The mill and mill leat are post medieval in date. In the pasture field to the south of Mixbury Road there was a post medieval, pre enclosure field boundary ditch.
