SNN107192 - Archaeological Evaluation: Land at Monksmoor Farm, Daventry

In November 2005 ASC carried out a limited programme of evaluation treching to investigate the archaeological significance of ditches and pits identified by geophysical survey. The targeted geophysical anomalies proved to be ditches and pits containing 1st-2nd and 3rd-4th century Romano-British pot sherds. The exact nature of the Romano-British activity is uncertain although the pot sherds were unabraded, which may suggest that the ditches and pits are part of, or relatively close to, settlement activity. The dates of the pottery could indicate that this location saw continuity of use throughout much of the Romano-British period.
