Abstract/Summary
During September 2014 Phoenix Consulting Archaeology Ltd. carried out an archaeological trench evaluation across a proposed development site known as ‘Land off Lower Ecton Lane, Great Billing, Northamptonshire’. The work was carried out on behalf of Mick George Ltd. and forms an archaeological evaluation required to assess the archaeological character of the Site. The proposed development comprises a waste processing facility. The Site lies in an area of known archaeology, predominantly dating from the Iron Age and Roman periods. A recent geophysical survey suggested the presence of an enclosure and a ring ditch close to the northern edge of the area. Seven trial trenches were excavated in order to appropriately evaluate the Site. No archaeological deposits or finds were encountered during the trenching exercise. The geophysical anomalies were shown to be variations in the natural geology.
