Abstract/Summary

MOLA was commissioned to carry out a detailed magnetometer survey of the proposed Midway Park development site adjacent to Junction 16 of the M1. The survey identified undated ring ditches, a probable late Bronze Age to early Iron Age pit alignment, an Iron Age to Roman settlement and field system, medieval ridge and furrow, a post-medieval watermill and a possible post-medieval lime kiln. A probable palaeochannel of the River Nene was also detected.
