Abstract/Summary

Northamptonshire Archaeology undertook geophysical survey by magnetometry followed by a trial trench evaluation of 32 hectares of land at Upton, Northampton. A previously evaluated Bronze Age barrow was re-located by geophysical survey. Prehistoric features including pit alignments and ditched field divisions were dated by small assemblages of pottery to the Iron Age. Possibly structural remains were also present. In addition, Roman features, including a metalled trackway, have been dated to the 1st/2nd centuries AD.
