Abstract/Summary

MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) was commissioned by Grand Union Housing Group to carry out archaeological trial trenching on a proposed development site on land at Westhorp, Greatworth prior to proposed development. Five ditches and a pit/ditch were identified in the south-east corner of the development area. A small assemblage of pottery and animal bone suggests that the activity was probably medieval and is a relic of the agricultural hinterland of a once much larger settlement.
