Abstract/Summary
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to carry out geophysical survey in a series of blocks over 52ha of land east of the A5, proposed for the DIRFT III development. Likely archaeological features were detected in only 10 of the 37 areas surveyed for this development. These features included ditches, pits, a possible roundhouse and other small circular features. Medieval ridge-and-furrow cultivation systems cover much of the site in places surviving as earthworks, elsewhere as sub-surface features. Evidence of a possible former Radio Station building was also detected adjacent to Rugby Radio Station East.
