Abstract/Summary

MOLA was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out archaeological trial trenching on land west of Banbury Lane, Kings Sutton prior to proposed development of the site. Eight trenches were excavated. Most features were undated, though pottery recovered from a ditch is possibly late Iron Age/early Roman. Two ditches were a continuation of ditches associated with Iron Age settlement to the east. An undated ditch is likely to be a boundary aligned north-east to south-west. Most features are associated with an Iron Age settlement extending to the east and south of the site. Probable furrows of a former field system survived only in the south-western area of the site.
