Abstract/Summary

A fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken on c.3ha of land at Horestone Brook, Nether Heyford. The survey identified the outline remains of the partially excavated Roman villa, along with probable associated Roman settlement remains. A series of regularly spaced linear anomalies aligned north to south indicate traces of medieval ridge and furrow ploughing. Traces of former quarrying activity were detected in area 2.
