Abstract/Summary

A fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken on three separate sites at Upper Harlestone, Northamptonshire. The survey identified a series of potentially significant anomalies at Sites 1 and 3. Site 1 revealed a complex of rectilinear and linear anomalies denoting enclosure ditches as well as building remains. However, it has not been possible to distinguish the precise footprint of any any specific buildings. Site 2 did not reveal any building remains; only traces of ridge and furrow. Site 3 produced two ditched enclosures that appear to extend further north and eastwards of the area surveyed. This equates with known finds that have been recovered from this area.
