Abstract/Summary
Northamptonshire Archaeology conducted an archaeological geophysical survey on land to the north-east of Daventry, Northamptonshire. Approximately 27ha of detailed gradiometer survey was carried out in eleven areas. Survey revealed a group of three enclosures containing a possible round house, 12 pits and two further ditches. A 290m long ditch was found to curve around the side of the valley, crossed by a pit alignment. Based on their morphology the archaeology may be of Iron Age or Roman date. In additions, a major iron pipeline was detected skirting Daventry reservoir and north towards the Grand Union Canal. Several other anomalies of unknown source were detected across the area.
