SNN108168 - Archaeological trial trenching on land west of High Street and land adjoining Irchester Sports Association, Irchester, Northamptonshire December 2011

In December 2011 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land west of High Street and land adjoining Irchester Sports Association. Twenty-three trenches, each 30m long and 2m wide, were excavated on two areas. On site 1, where 10 trenches were excavated, there was part of an Iron Age enclosure ditch and two shallow Roman gullies. On site 2, where 13 treches were excavated, there were only two shallow gullies, the rest of the possible features related to post medieval and later quarrying.
