Abstract/Summary
MOLA Northampton was commissioned by Prospect Archaeology to carry out detailed magnetometer survey of land to the south-west of Northampton, designated as Pineham Expansion Zone H. The survey recorded a number of features of probable late prehistoric or Roman origin, comprising three pit alignments and several ditched enclosures with an associated trackway or linear boundary. Medieval ridge and furrow was also recorded across the survey area, along with traces of field boundaries post-dating parliamentary enclosure. A probable palaeochannel was detected in the far north of the area, and modern disturbance was detected from overhead cables and a gas pipeline.
