Abstract/Summary
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May and June 2014 at Mount Mill Farm, Wicken, Northamptonshire. Forty-five trenches were excavated. The evaluation recorded a series of substantial and well-preserved Iron Age ditches, corresponding to the three concentrations of enclosures and associated features recorded previously by a geophysical survey. It is likely that these three concentrations of features represent Iron Age farmsteads. The evaluation generally confirmed the limits of the three concentrations of Iron Age activity as defined by the geophysical survey. There was no evidence for activity pre-dating the Iron Age, and there were very few later features.
